The group has many opportunities for people interested in getting involved in Natural Language Processing research.

Studying NLP

PhD

We are interested in hearing from students interesting in studying PhDs in topics related to Natural Language Processing. Some suggestions for potential topics can be found on the homepages of individual academics - Dr Trevor Cohn, Prof. Rob Gaizauskas, Dr Mark Hepple & Dr Mark Stevenson.

PhD applications shoud be made through the Computer Science Department.

Undergraduate and Masters

Together with the Speech and Hearing research group, we offer an MSc course in Computer Science with Speech and Language Processing that covers a wide range of topics in Natural Language Processing and Speech Processing.

Members of the group teach modules relevant to Natural Language Processing, including Text Processing, Natural Language Processing and Introduction to Machine Learning. These modules are offerred at both the senior undergraduate and MSc level. In addition members of the group offer both group and individual projects on NLP-related topics.

Jobs

Positions for researchers on funded projects are occasionally available. These are advertised on the University's job site and relevant email distribution lists.

Visiting Scientists

Scientists from other universities or industrial research labs who wish to visit on sabbatical or to carry out collaborative research are always welcome. While we cannot offer financial support for such visits, visitors who have the support of their home institution or government can usually be accomodated and given access to our research facilities.
