Dear ALTA community,

We are seeking a capable educator to develop a two-day natural language processing workshop for academics and research students at the University of Sydney, and to co-deliver it in person with one of our trainers in January or March 2020. Applicants should expect to work a few days a week (up to full time) on this starting November or December 2019 and deliver a first run of the course in person.

The applicant should:

Have experience as a workshop trainer/facilitator and in developing materials for presentation
Have experience in developing and delivering training involving coding exercises, especially live coding, in the style of Software/Data Carpentry Workshops.
Be familiar with diverse NLP solutions and how to use them in Python.
Understand the challenges that language presents to computation, quantification and machine learning.
Be familiar with some research applications that may use language or text as data

We have tried to give you a picture of what we’re looking for by preparing a training brief, including a possible curriculum and a description of the personas who might sign up for the workshop. It is attached.
