Crynodeb
The School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh invites applications for a Research Associate position in conversational and interactive AI and related areas spanning natural language processing, machine learning, and information retrieval. The aim is to make significant advances in large language models with applications to generative information retrieval and search-centric agents. The ideal candidate has in-depth knowledge of state-of-the-art neural language model architectures and reinforcement learning.
The Opportunity:
The postdoctoral researcher will be supervised by Jeff Dalton and funded by a UKRI Turing AI Acceleration Fellowship in collaboration with the Alan Turing Institute on “Neural Conversational Information Seeking Assistants.” You will join the GRILL Lab (https://grilllab.ai) which is part of the Edinburgh NLP group (https://edinburghnlp.inf.ed.ac.uk/), one of the largest and most active AI research groups in the world (see http://csrankings.org/#/index?nlp&world). There are many collaborative opportunities, both within the group as well as across the School of Informatics (which includes faculty working on machine learning, computer vision, speech processing, and social computing).
This post is fixed term (12 months) and full-time (35 hours per week); with regular on-campus working.
The salary for this post is UE07 £40,247 to £47,874 per annum.
