Research Associate
Cardiff University School of Computer Science & Informatics
Applications are invited for a Research Associate post in the Cardiff University School of Computer Science & Informatics, to work on the EPSRC Open Fellowship project ReStoRe (Reasoning about Structured Story Representations), which is focused on story-level language understanding. The overall aim of this project is to develop methods for inferring graph-structured representations of stories. For this post, the specific focus will be on developing commonsense reasoning strategies to fill the gap between what is explicitly stated in a story and what a human reader would infer by “reading between the lines”.
You will work closely with Steven Schockaert. You will possess or be near the completion of a PhD in Computer Science or a related area or have relevant industrial experience.
The position is full-time (35 hours per week), available immediately until 30 April 2027.
The appointment will be made, dependent on relevant qualifications and experience, within the Grade 6 scale, currently £40,497 - £45,413 per annum (Grade 6).
For an informal discussion of the post please contact Steven Schockaert by email at schockaerts1@cardiff.ac.uk.
For an informal chat about the School of Computer Science & Informatics, please contact the Deputy School Manager, Charlie Balcombe (balcombec@cardiff.ac.uk)
