Senior Postdoc & PhD Studentship at the Centre for Argument Technology (Scotland)

February 15, 2022

The Centre for Argument Technology (www.arg.tech) has just released two vacancies in the AI/NLP subfield of argument mining, one for a PhD studentship and the other for a four-year senior postdoctoral appointment.

We are looking for a talented postdoctoral researcher to join a project exploring the role of argument mining in understanding and supporting public engagement with political processes. This 48-month position is at Grade 8 (£42k-£50k).

We are also looking to hire a PhD student with an interest in natural language processing, with a Masters or a good Bachelors in an appropriate subject to work on argument mining in corporate discourse. The studentship is for 48 months and covers UKRI stipend (£16k tax-free) and fees **at UK student rates only** — candidates who do not qualify for UK student fees will be liable for the difference (see https://www.dundee.ac.uk/guides/fee-status-assessment).

More information for the postdoc can be found at www.arg.tech/SSEN0407 and for the studentship at www.arg.tech/PHD202201 or by emailing the director, Prof. Chris Reed chris@arg.tech. Deadline for applications 4 March 2022.
