Post doc positions in Oslo

[Dag Haug]

The Faculty of Humanities, University of Oslo, seeks to hire two 
postdoctoral researchers (SKO 1352) who can make significant 
contributions to the SynSem research program 
<http://www.hf.uio.no/english/research/theme/syntax-and-semantics/index.html> 
(see below), independently and in collaboration with other researchers 
on the program, including faculty and PhD students. The applicant must 
have handed in his/her PhD by the application deadline, and s/he must 
present a proposal for innovative future research addressing one or more 
key topics in formally oriented semantics or syntax, or the 
syntax-semantics interface.

One of the postdocs will be attached to the Department of Literature, 
Areas Studies and European Languages 
<http://www.hf.uio.no/ilos/english/> (ILOS) and work on a project 
relating to one or more of the languages taught at the department 
(Germanic, Romance and Slavic languages); the other will be attached to 
the Department of Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas 
<http://www.hf.uio.no/ifikk/english/>  (IFIKK) and work on a project 
relating to Greek or Latin (and possibly other languages in the PROIEL 
treebank <http://foni.uio.no:3000/>).

The appointment is for a duration of three years and the positions 
entail a 10% compulsory workload per year of teaching and supervision 
duties.

*The SynSem research program*

Starting 2014, the SynSem research program is an interdisciplinary 
effort bridging theoretical and computational linguistics, aiming to 
promote advances in formally oriented syntax and semantics with a view 
to improved models and methods of natural language understanding.

On the empirical side, the main focus is on Germanic, Romance and Slavic 
languages as well as Latin and Greek. Major areas of interest include 
the relationship between linguistic code and context, grammar formalisms 
uniting theoretical and implementational interest, and the development 
and deployment of resources for language processing and linguistic 
research. For additional information, in particular an overview of 
in-house participants, see the program's provisional website 
<http://www.hf.uio.no/english/research/theme/syntax-and-semantics/index.html>.

*Requirements*

  * A PhD degree relevant to the program.
  * Doctoral dissertation must be submitted for evaluation by the
    closing date.
  * Personal ability and motivation
