The Cambridge Institute for Automated Language Teaching and Assessment (ALTA) is seeking two Research Assistants or Research Associates in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning to join their strong team of researchers in the Department of Computer Science and Technology.

ALTA is a virtual institute which brings together researchers from Computer Science, Engineering, Linguistics and Language Assessment to investigate new ways of using technology to enhance language learning and to develop cutting-edge approaches to assessment which will benefit learners and teachers worldwide.

The successful applicant will be working in EdTech based on LLM technology and will focus on at least one of the following areas: automated assessment of language learners, explainable models of assessment, learning-content generation, or adaptive learning. In all cases, the candidate must have a directly relevant PhD (or must be close to completion). The candidate is expected to have knowledge and experience of computational techniques relevant to natural language processing and machine learning, including an understanding and experience with pre-trained language models. The candidate will need to be confident communicating in cross-disciplinary forums.
