Ireland: PhD Studentship in Machine Translation, Dublin City University
Closing date: June 30, 2006

Following a recent award by Science Foundation Ireland, we are pleased to announce openings for two PhD students on the 'ATTEMPT' project, 'All Trees' Efficient Models of Parsing & Translation. The successful candidates will undertake research at the National Centre for Language Technology in the School of Computing, Dublin City University, Ireland. This project has been developed in collaboration with Dr. Khalil Sima'an of the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The successful candidates will have a First-class primary degree and/or a Masters in a numerate discipline. Strong programming skills are essential. Knowledge of Machine Learning, Statistical methods, Parsing and/or MT techniques would be extremely advantageous, especially in the areas of Data-Oriented Parsing and Tree-based models of Translation.

Each student will receive a stipend of Euro 16K in year 1, rising to Euro 17K in year 3. Their fees will be paid (currently Euro 3,584 p.a.), and a generous hardware and travel allowance will be provided. The total package for each student amounts to well over Euro 60K over 3 years. These PhD positions are available from 1st September 2006.

Candidates for these postgraduate positions should send their CV (in .pdf format, only) to away@computing.dcu.ie  as soon as possible, and by June 30th at the latest. Questions or other clarification should be emailed to the same address.
