The Research Group in Computational Linguistics at the University of
Wolverhampton (http://rgcl.wlv.ac.uk) is currently recruiting a
Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Translation Technology (permanent). The
purpose of this post is to strengthen the research group by enhancing
its research and publications in the field of translation technology.
The appointed candidate will be expected to produce REF-returnable

The Research Group in Computational Linguistics
-----------------------------------------------

The Research Group in Computational Linguistics (http://rgcl.wlv.ac.uk)
at the University of Wolverhampton was founded by Prof. Ruslan Mitkov
in 1998 and is one of the leading research groups in computational
linguistics in the UK. The group is well known for its high level
research with strong international and inter-sector collaboration, and
is renowned for its innovative NLP research and development of various
NLP tools and resources. RGCL was the coordinator of the recently
completed EXPERT project (http://expert-itn.eu) which trained young
researchers to promote the research, development and use of hybrid
language translation technologies. The lecturer/senior lecturer to be
appointed is expected to continue the work in this direction.
