<div>I am looking for a postdoctoral Research Assistant to investigate how Conversational AI systems can be made to behave in "safer" ways. The post is part of an inter-disciplinary research project, bringing together expertise in deep neural networks, verification,
and computational law. The project is led by Heriot-Watt University and in cooperation with the University of Edinburgh and Strathclyde, see <a href="https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/T026952/1" id="LPlnk429363">https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/T026952/1</a></div>

</div>
<div>I seek a candidate with experience in neural approaches to natural language generation, or closely related fields, including Vision + Language tasks.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Applicants interested in social computing tasks, such as online abuse detection and mitigation, as well as interdisciplinary candidates with a wider interest in ethical and social implications of NLP are also encouraged to apply.</div>
<div><br>
