Grade UE5: £29,588 - £33,951 per annum, pro-rata College of Science and Engineering / School of Chemistry Part-time: 8 hours per week Fixed-term: 36 weeks Alongside generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, modern translation software has rapidly evolved from producing static unreliable outputs to fast and accurate translations. In recent years, translations can also be applied to video, audio and in-person conversations—often live.

This study will continue an ongoing investigation into how students are currently making use of translation software during their studies, and develop guidance on how students may make use of this software effectively and appropriately during their studies. This study will primarily focus on students, both undergraduate and postgraduate, in the School of Chemistry and related Schools in the College of Science and Engi
