The Department of Computer Science at Royal Holloway carries out outstanding
research and delivers excellent teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate
level: we ranked 11th in the Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014) for the
quality of our research output, and our average rating for Teaching Excellence
Framework criteria in the 2017 National Student Survey placed us 4th among
research-intensive UK universities.
Over the past five years, we have undertaken an ambitious plan of expansion:
eleven new academic members of staff were appointed, new undergraduate and
integrated-masters programmes were created, and five new postgraduate-taught
programmes were launched. We are involved in multiple inter/multidisciplinary
activities, from electrical engineering to psychology and social sciences. The
critical mass achieved by our research centres in information security and
machine learning is also generating many approaches from potential users and
collaborators.
We are now recruiting for an academic member of staff who can strengthen our
artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science research. They will
teach and supervise projects in Natural Language Processing (NLP) both as part
of our established MSc programmes in Machine Learning and in Data Science &
Analytics (both launched in 2013) and in the new MSc programme in Artificial
Intelligence starting in 2019. They will help us seek and seize opportunities
for research funding and industrial engagement in these areas.
The successful candidate will hold a PhD or equivalent, will have a proven
research record in artificial intelligence/machine learning/processing and
analysis of natural language, a solid background in the underlying theory and a
strong interest in practice-driven research. Experience in attracting funding,
engaging with industry, or contributing to outreach activities would also be
valuable.
The appointee will be expected to contribute across the full range of
departmental activities, including undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and
the supervision of mainstream projects over a wide range of topics. In
particular, duties and responsibilities of this post include: conducting
individual or collaborative research projects; producing high-quality outputs
for publication in high-profile journals or conference proceedings; delivering
high-quality teaching to all levels of students; and supervising research
postgraduate students.
This is a full-time and permanent (tenured) post, available from April 2019 or
as soon as possible thereafter. The post is based in Egham, Surrey, within
commuting distance from London, Europe’s most dynamic technology hub.
