We are looking for two Research Assistants/Associates to work on the project Automated Verification of Textual Claims (AVeriTeC), a 5-year ERC project led by Dr. Andreas Vlachos at the University of Cambridge starting in January 2021. The successful candidate will be based in the Natural Language and Information Processing group (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/nl/) at the Department of Computer Science and Technology. The project will focus on developing approaches enabling the verification of highly complex claims, which require multiple pieces of evidence. Particular focus will be paid to accompanying the verdicts with suitable justifications.

Candidates will have completed a Ph.D. (or be close to completing it) in a relevant field such as NLP, Information Retrieval, Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning and be able to demonstrate a strong track record of independent research and high-quality publications. Essential skills include excellent programming (Python), NLP techniques, Machine Learning, and proven communication skills.

Research Assistant: £26,715 - £30,942 Research Associate: £32,816 - £40,322

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 5 years.
