The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics 


Description:

The Division of Computational Linguistics in the Dept. of Linguistics at
the University of Tuebingen, Germany is searching for a computational
linguist whose research experience complements existing strengths in the
department. While computational linguists working in any subarea of the
field are encouraged to apply, preference will be given to candidates who
specialize in one or more of the following areas:

data-driven approaches to computational linguistics (esp. machine
learning); dialogue modeling; question-answering; computational
lexicography; information extraction; text summarization.

Knowledge of German is highly desirable. Duties for this post include
teaching, independent research and participation in externally-funded,
on-going research projects. Further information about the department can be
found on our website.

The starting date for the position is April 1, 2008.  The initial period of
appointment is for three years, with the possibility of renewal for another
three-year term.

The position is at the rank of 'Akademischer Rat auf Zeit' (PhD or
equivalent required) or at the rank of 'Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter' (MA
or equivalent required). The salary is determined by the German civil
servants standard (Besoldungsgruppe A 13 for appointment as Akademischer
Rat, or Entgeltgruppe 13 TV-L for appointment as Wiss. Mitarbeiter) and
amounts to approximately 57.600 Euro per year. The exact salary amount
varies depending on experience and marital status.

Applications should include CV and an outline of research
experience/interests.  Names and addresses of references would be helpful.
Applications should be sent by mail or by email to the address below.

Applications received by December 20, 2007 will receive full consideration,
although interviews may start at any time and will continue until the
position has been filled.

Disabled applicants will be preferred if they have the same qualifications
as non-disabled applicants. The University of Tuebingen strives to increase
the proportion of women in research and teaching, and therefore encourages
qualified female scientists to apply.
