The posts will be located in the Interaction Lab at Heriot-Watt
University's School of Mathematics and Computer Science (MACS), see
http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/InteractionLab. The successful candidates
will join a group of about 20 people, consisting of postdoctoral and
PhD researchers and faculty with expertise in NLP, machine learning,
HRI, and conversational AI. Our current projects involve
collaborations with the University of Glasgow, IDIAP (Geneva), LAAS
(Toulouse), SpeechGraphics and others. We also competed in the Amazon
Alexa Challenge 2017 and 2018, on conversational AI, having reached
the final on both occasions.

The advertised positions will be part of the new “Socially Pertinent
Robots In Gerontological healthcare (SPRING)” Horizon 2020 EU project.
In SPRING, we are particularly interested in Socially Assistive Robots
(SARs) for the elderly.
SPRING is a highly international project with academic and industry
partners in France, Spain, Israel, the Czech Republic, Italy, and the
UK.
