The School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering is seeking to
recruit a full-time Lecturer in Natural Language Processing to grow our AI

expertise in AI and Machine Learning: the Computer Science Research Centre
and the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP). This post
is aligned to the Nature Inspired Computer and Engineering group within
Computer Science.

This role encourages applicants from the areas of natural language
processing including language modelling, language generation (machine
translation/summarisation), explainability and reasoning in NLP, and/or
aligned multimodal challenges for NLP (vision-language, audio-language, and
so on) and we are particularly interested in candidates who enhance our
current strengths and bring complementary areas of AI expertise.

Surrey has an established international reputation in AI research, 1st in
the UK for computer vision and top 10 for AI, computer vision, machine
learning and natural language processing (CSRankings.org) and were 7th in
the UK for REF2021 outputs in Computer Science research. Computer Science
and CVSSP are at the core of the Surrey Institute for People-Centred AI
(PAI), established in 2021 as a pan-University initiative which brings
together leading AI research with cross-discipline expertise across health,
social, behavioural, and engineering sciences, and business, law, and the
creative arts to shape future AI to benefit people and society. PAI leads a
portfolio of £100m in grant awards including major research activities in
creative industries and healthcare, and two doctoral training programmes
with funding for over 100 PhD researchers: the UKRI AI Centre for Doctoral
Training in AI for Digital Media Inclusion, and the Leverhulme Trust
Doctoral Training Network in AI-Enabled Digital Accessibility.

Research Centre, Professor Steve Schneider at *s.schneider at surrey.ac.uk*
