Dear ALTA community,

Are you interested in researching how Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Information Retrieval (IR) methods can be used to build the scientific tools of the future, with a focus on real-world impact in both science and industry?  

This is an exciting opportunity for a CERC Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Language and Social Computing (LASC) team of Natural Language Processing (NLP) researchers and engineers.

This applied research position will focus on Natural Language Processing (NLP), Information Retrieval (IR) and Machine Learning (ML).  The role will help translate current NLP research in the LASC team into tangible applications in the agriculture domain, leading to economic and societal impact.

The successful candidate will be situated within the Language and Social Computing (LASC) team but will work closely with key stakeholders from CSIRO’s Agriculture and Food business unit.

In the context of developing next-generation “AI for Science” productivity tools, the CERC Fellow will develop tools that operate on agriculture-related scientific and technical literature, and relevant web data (such as social media and news).  

The successful candidate will focus on the delivery of solutions to the agricultural sector, aligned with the team’s research in Information Extraction (IE) and the development of a knowledge discovery and text analytics platform.    The CERC Fellow will expand on the team’s current research portfolio and conduct research in the application of these methods to the agriculture domain.


Location:   Sydney, Australia
Salary:       AU$89k - AU$98k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure:      Specified term of 3 years
Reference: 77986
