Digital Economy is an RCUK cross-council programme, aimed at realising
the transformational impact of ICT for all aspects of business,
society and economy. The dot.rural Digital Economy Hub at the
University of Aberdeen is one of three large multi-disciplinary
research hubs funded through this programme, and commenced its
activities in October 2009.
The Hub award to Aberdeen is worth £11.8M and will fund five years of
activity. The Hub brings together a large team of researchers (70+)
working in and across the disciplines of computer science,
communications engineering, transport, health, social sciences and
environmental sciences. For further details, see:
www.dotrural.ac.uk
To support our ambitious research programme we are looking to appoint
a postdoctoral research fellow to work in the area of Natural Language
Generation (NLG). The research fellow will contribute to several Hub
projects which involve the use of NLG in: 1) multi-modal presentations
of time series data (on river water levels using graphs, maps and
text) to members of the public; and 2) affective feedback to maintain
volunteers (in a large-scale community-based nature conservation
initiative).
The successful candidate will have a good knowledge of natural
language generation/processing techniques (at the PhD level). The
candidate will have a PhD or be about to complete a PhD in Computer
Science/ Artificial Intelligence or a relevant discipline. Enthusiasm
for digital technology and innovation relevant to society and the
economy is essential as is the ability to work in a cross-disciplinary
team including colleagues in computer science and engineering. The
ability to use GIS would be an advantage.
