PhD studentship in NLP approaches to the treatment of multiword units



**** Closing date 2 March 2014 ***



The Research Group in Computational Linguistics (http://clg.wlv.ac.uk) of the University of Wolverhampton invites applications for a 3-year University of Wolverhampton PhD studentship in the area of multiword units. More specifically, the proposed topic of the PhD research will be Natural Language Processing (NLP) methodology to extraction and translation of multiword units which has applications in a number of areas including but not limited to terminology, language learning and translation.  This is a funded bursary which will consist of a stipend towards living expenses (£14,000 per year) and remission of fees.



The application deadline is 2 March 2014. The short-listed candidates will be notified by email by 3 March and interviewed via Skype on 5 March. The starting date of the PhD position is 15 March 2014 or any time as soon as possible after that.



A successful applicant must have:



*             A good honours degree or equivalent in Computational Linguistics, Computer Science or Linguistics, with a strong programming and statistical / Mathematical background or closely related areas.

*             Experience in Computational Linguistics / Natural Language Processing, particularly the area of Machine Learning applications to Natural Language Processing.



Experience in linguistics and/or translation would be a plus.



Applications must include:



1)            A curriculum vitae indicating degrees obtained, courses covered, publications, relevant work experience and names of two referees that could be contacted if necessary

2)            A 1-page cover letter with statement of research interests, indicating why you are interested in this position and why you consider your experience is relevant.

3)            An expression of interest form which can be obtained by emailing pam.loi at wlv.ac.uk<mailto:pam.loi at wlv.ac.uk>





The shortlisted applicants will be interviewed by telephone the week following the application deadline. They will then be asked to complete a research proposal.



Established by Prof Mitkov in 1998, the research group in Computational Linguistics delivers cutting-edge research in a number of NLP areas. The results from the latest Research Assessment Exercise (RAE'2008) confirm the research group in Computational Linguistics as one of the top performers in UK research with its research defined as 'internationally leading, internationally excellent and internationally recognised'.



Informal enquiries and electronic applications can be sent to by email to:
