The Liveperson Centre for Speech and Language Technology was established in 2017 with the aim to conduct research into novel methods for speech recognition and general speech processing, including end to end modelling, direct waveform modelling and new approaches to modelling of acoustics and language. It has recently extended its research remit to spoken and written dialogue. The Centre hosts several Research Associates, PhD researchers, graduate and undergraduate project students, Researchers and Engineers from Voicebase, and academic visitors, which will provide a vibrant work environment within the University. Being fully connected with SpandH brings collaboration, and access to wide range of academic research and opportunities for collaboration inside and outside of the University.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
