<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt">The College of Graduate Studies of the University of South Africa (Unisa) is inviting outstanding candidates for Postdoctoral Researcher positions in the fields of natural language processing/ natural language
technologies/computational linguistics/semantic computing to collaborate in a project on Sustainable Multilingualism in the South African Context.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt">The candidate should have a doctoral degree in computer science or a related discipline, with specialisation in any one of the following or closely related fields: natural language processing (NLP), natural language
technologies, computational linguistics, corpus linguistics, or machine learning. Experience in the use of functional programming in NLP applications and computational grammar development, specifically in GF (Grammatical Framework) or knowledge of an African
language will be an advantage.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="color:#333333;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">The successful candidates will be expected to collaborate in an interdisciplinary environment where the focus is on research, development and deployment
of computational approaches towards sustainable multilingualism in the South African context. The candidates will form part of a team of researchers involved in innovative work towards realising multilingual support for ten of the eleven official languages
of South Africa. The expectation is that the candidate’s work would increase the international reputation of the research group and the institution through world-class research, publications and applications through collaborations with team members and other
researchers, as appropriate, and that it would also contribute towards the increased success of master’s and doctoral research at Unisa.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
