We have one fully-funded PhD position at the Language Technology Group,
University of Oslo. The position is funded by the CLEANUP project
(http://cleanup.nr.no) funded by the Research Council of Norway.
CLEANUP is an exciting research project at the intersection of natural language
processing and data privacy and aims to develop a range of new machine learning
methods to automatically anonymise (or at least strongly de-identify) text
documents such as electronic patient records, court rulings or chat-based
interactions with customers.
The project brings together researchers from machine learning, natural language
processing, computational privacy, statistical modelling, health informatics
and IT law. In addition, partners from the Norwegian public and private sector
(covering the fields of healthcare, welfare, banking, insurance and legal
publishing) will contribute to the project with their data and domain knowledge.
The position is located within the Language Technology Group (LTG) at the
Department of Informatics, University of Oslo. LTG conducts research on a range
of NLP topics like semantic parsing, distributional semantics, sentiment
analysis, clinical NLP, and more. While the research profile of the group is
heavily machine-learning oriented, our projects typically combines data-driven
approaches with an interest for linguistic analysis and insight. The group has
access to excellent HPC infrastructure.
We offer a competitive salary combined with attractive welfare benefits and a
generous pension agreement, in addition to Oslo's family-friendly environment
with its rich opportunities for culture and outdoor activities.
Applicants must hold a Master's degree or equivalent in NLP or in Computer
Science with a specialization in NLP, with minimum grade B (ECTS grading scale)
or equivalent. Fluent oral and written communication skills in English are
required. Working knowledge of Norwegian is also recommended, as the project
will mainly work on Norwegian documents. Candidates that do not currently speak
Norwegian or a related Scandinavian language can nevertheless apply if they are
willing to learn Norwegian promptly upon arrival in Norway.
