From: Serge Sharoff <s.shar...@leeds.ac.uk>
Ssubject: Research Assistant, Leeds, UK
The Centre for Translation Studies and School of Computing,
the University of Leeds, UK, are inviting applications for the
post of Research Assistant to work on a 12-month research
project funded by a Google Research Award to Serge Sharoff
and Katja Markert. This fixed-term position is for one year
with a start date in April 2009.
The project aims to classify web pages into genres in multiple
languages, since different pages have quite different uses and
characteristics. A query for `Venice' results in pages of various
types, referring to recent news, information about history,
guidebooks, hotel lists, opinions about hotels and restaurants, etc.
Our research questions in this project are:
* Which features of webpages are useful for their automatic
classification?
* How language-specific are those features?
* How can we build efficient classifiers with minimal annotation
data?
The RA will be doing research on feature selection, development
of classifiers and evaluation. The ideal candidate has recently
completed or nearing completion of a PhD in computational
linguistics or machine learning with an emphasis on weakly-supervised
methods in natural language processing. Knowledge of graph-based
machine learning or linguistic genre theory and at least one language
in addition to English is desirable. Suitable candidates with MSc/MA
degree can be also considered.
The 12-month salary will be according to Grade 6 in the British
academic system (24,152-28,839).
The deadline for application is February 27, 2009 with interviews
expected in the beginning of March.
Information on the application procedure is available from:
http://www.leeds.ac.uk/hr/jobs/apply.htm
With any informal questions about this job, please contact Dr Serge
Sharoff (s.sharoff at leeds.ac.uk, tel. +44(0)113 3437287).

1 PhD Scholarship at $25,000 per annum each
The Charles Sturt University
http://www.csu.edu.au
An opportunity exists for one (1) highly motivated student to
take on PhD in the areas of computer vision, pattern recognition,
image processing and signal processing. The research is part
of an industry supported project. The student's roles are to
investigate methods which will be used to extract image features
and apply pattern recognition methods to rock surfaces.
The scholarship covers $25K living stipend and CSU shall offer a
fee-free place for the successful candidate. The potential applicants
must be Australian citizens or permanent residents (applications
from non-Australian citizen may be considered, but applicants from
non-English speaking countries shall have an English test IELTS of
score 6.5+.) The optimal candidate would have a clear interest in
computer vision and pattern recognition. In addition, the candidate
should demonstrate a willingness to tackle relevant mathematical
problems and to work with various software APIs for the hardware
used in this project. The candidate should possess or expect to
obtain Honours I or strong Honours II degree from disciplines
including, but not limited to Computer Science/Engineering,
Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and/or Statistics. The
applicants are also expected to have strong programming
skills in C++ (or Matlab) and have some system engineering
experience.
For more information contact:
A/Professor Junbin Gao (email jb...@csu.edu.au;
phone (02) 6338 4213)
Applicants should submit a letter (maximum two pages)
outlining their suitability for the position, accompanied by
a brief CV (including contact details for two referees) and a
