<p>The Faculty of Humanities, University of Oslo, seeks to hire two
postdoctoral researchers (SKO 1352) who can make significant
contributions to the <a
href="http://www.hf.uio.no/english/research/theme/syntax-and-semantics/index.html">SynSem
research program</a> (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.</p>
<p>One of the postdocs will be attached to <a
href="http://www.hf.uio.no/ilos/english/">the Department of
Literature, Areas Studies and European Languages</a> (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 <a
href="http://www.hf.uio.no/ifikk/english/">Department of
Philosophy, Classics, History of Art and Ideas</a> (IFIKK) and
work on a project relating to Greek or Latin (and possibly other
languages in <a href="http://foni.uio.no:3000/">the PROIEL
treebank</a>).</p>
<p>The appointment is for a duration of three years and the
positions entail a 10% compulsory workload per year of teaching
and supervision duties.</p>
<p><strong>The SynSem research program</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <a
href="http://www.hf.uio.no/english/research/theme/syntax-and-semantics/index.html">program's
provisional website</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>A PhD degree relevant to the program.</li>
<li>Doctoral dissertation must be submitted for evaluation by the
closing date.</li>
<li>Personal ability and motivation</li>
</ul>
