Are you currently pursuing a PhD or MSc (by research) in an area related to
Machine Translation or Language Technology? Do you want to increase the
impact of your work while gaining invaluable experience as part of a
highly-regarded and continually growing research centre?

**************************

At the Centre for Next Generation Localisation (CNGL) in Dublin, Ireland,
we have a number of internships available covering a wide range of topics
in Natural Language Processing and Machine Translation.  The internships
are available for both basic research and more applied research projects
(including development-focused work).

Topics include (but are not limited to):
•    MT system combination
•    Syntax- and semantically-enhanced SMT models
•    Domain adaptation for MT
•    Alignment

Candidates are required to be registered as students in their home
universities while carrying out their internship in Dublin and need to
provide written confirmation of this from their home institute. Successful
applicants will receive a (tax exempt) student stipend of €1,600 per month.
We cover economy return airfare and student visa costs.

During the internship, the successful candidate will become part of a large
NLP and MT research team based at CNGL and the NCLT at DCU, with one of the
world’s largest academic MT research groups comprising over 20 researchers.
The team’s location at DCU, just minutes from Dublin city centre, offers a
conducive environment to research, collaboration and innovation with a
wealth of amenities on campus, including restaurants, the state-of-the-art
University Sports Complex and swimming pool and the Helix, one of Ireland’s
