at the UKP Lab in Darmstadt, Germany

The Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing Lab
(http://www.ukp.tu-darmstadt.de/)
has an opening for a Post-Doctoral/Senior Researcher with a focus on
lexical-semantic processing methods (such as paraphrase recognition,
word sense disambiguation, etc.) and/or information retrieval, question
answering, and related topics. The position is funded by third-parties,
such as the German Research Foundation or the Volkswagen Foundation.
The UKP Lab has been established in 2007 and has grown to 15 staff
members, consisting of Senior Researchers and PhD students. It
participates in cutting-edge basic and applied research projects,
cooperates with academic and industrial partners, and is active in the
international scientific community.

The successful candidate will be expected to head a research area
related to the UKP Lab's profile as described above and to co-supervise
PhD students of the UKP Lab working in this area. He/she will contribute
to the department's teaching program, in particular to the new Master's
program "Internet- and Web-technology" at the Technische Universitaet
Darmstadt.
The UKP Lab closely cooperates with several strong departments in
Computer Science, such as Visual Computing, IT Security, and eLearning
and has therefore developed a strong profile in cross-disciplinary
applications of NLP, for example educational applications. The project
is subject to extension upon a successful evaluation.

Language Processing and/or Computer Science and to possess the ability
to conduct original research as demonstrated by their publication
record.
Experience in lexical-semantic processing algorithms, collaborative and

Strong programming skills in Java are essential as well as the ability
to cooperate with other group members. Leadership and teaching skills
are beneficial and are subject to systematic development based on the
tasks to be performed as a Senior Researcher. The knowledge of German
is a plus, but is not absolutely required.

  To apply, please email 
    * your statement of research interests,
    * your CV, including details of past research experience,
    * your three most important publications,
    * contact data of three referees.
