Postdoctoral position in artificial intelligence, Cardiff (Wales)

Applications are invited for a Research Associate post in Cardiff University's School of Computer Science & Informatics.

This is a full-time, fixed-term post for 30 months, starting on 1 March 2017 or as soon as possible thereafter. The successful candidate will be dedicated to finding creative solutions and have a genuine curiosity and enthusiasm to undertake world-class research in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Specifically, the aim of this post will be to develop novel methods for learning interpretable/symbolic models from diverse sources of information, including knowledge graphs, vector space models and natural language text. These models will then be used as background theories in applications such as recognising textual entailment, automated knowledge base completion, or zero-shot learning. You will work closely with Steven Schockaert. You will possess or be near the completion of a PhD in Computer Science or a related area, or have relevant industrial experience.

This research will be part of the ERC project FLEXILOG.
