| More Information: | Applications are open for fully funded PhD studentships in computational
linguistics / NLP, dialogue and interaction, distributional and compositional
distributional semantics, and/or games-with-a-purpose applied to NLP for start
in October 2019 in the Computational Linguistics Lab of the School for
Electronic Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), Queen Mary University of
London
http://compling.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/
Available studentships include:
1. several studentships funded by EECS, available to PhD students interested in
any of the research themes pursued by faculty in the Cognitive Science Research
Group
http://cogsci.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/
and Computational Linguistics lab
http://compling.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/
Themes of interest include theoretical and computational models of discourse,
semantics, and dialogue interpretation; distributional semantics; applications
of computational linguistics and machine learning methods to social media
processing, deception detection, and mental health treatment; verbal and
non-verbal communication in interaction. Please see the advertisement here:

Deadline for application is 31/1/2019.
2. Several studentships funded by the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT)
in Intelligent Games and Game Intelligence (IGGI), a collaboration between the
University of York and Queen Mary.
http://www.iggi.org.uk/
these studentships are available for students wishing to pursue a PhD on IGGI
themes, which include, for instance, gamification and the use of
games-with-a-purpose for NLP, or interaction in games. Please contact Massimo
Poesio (m.poesio at qmul.ac.uk) for further information on these topics, or the
other faculty listed on the IGGI pages for information on other themes.
The deadline for applications for the IGGI studentships is also 31/1/2019, but
the application should be made direcly through IGGI - please see
http://www.iggi.org.uk/apply/
3. Studentships funded by the Turing Institute.
These are 3.5 years studentships that come with an increased annual stipend of
£20,500 plus a travel allowance and tuition fees. These students will be
supervised by the Turing fellows from QMUL and will work in collaboration with
research teams at the Turing Institute. More information is available at
https://www.turing.ac.uk/phd-at-turing
The candidates for these PhD positions should apply directly to Queen Mary
through the usual routes. |
