Goldsmiths, University of London is seeking to appoint a fixed-term part-time research associate with enthusiasm for discourse analysis and expertise in natural language processing and/or corpus linguistics. This role is part of a research project developed at the Department of Computing in collaboration with the linguistics team from the Department of English and Creative Writing. The project aims to capture and analyse the “public conversation” around the ongoing energy crisis. This issue has become the nexus for important social debates around pivotal issues like climate change, as well as the distribution of economic burdens, equality, risk and sustainability. A study of public debates around the energy crisis can help us understand the complex intersection of discourses around fossil fuels, climate change, sustainability and social justice.

As part of this interdisciplinary project, you will work with linguists and computer scientists at Goldsmiths to combine expertise in NLP and corpus linguistics with expertise in qualitative discourse analysis. You will be expected to develop, implement, and apply novel algorithms to online media content. This will involve appropriate NLP techniques, such as entity recognition, semantic role labelling, topic modelling and sentiment analysis. You should have a strong background in software development, ideally in a research environment or another area related to rapid prototyping and innovation.
