University or Organization: Tilburg University 
Department: Faculty of Humanities
Job Location: Tilburg, Netherlands 
Web Address: http://www.uvt.nl
Job Rank: Full Professor  

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Artificial Intelligence; Data Mining

Description:

The Tilburg center for Communication and Cognition (TiCC) is looking for an
enthusiastic and competent colleague for the position of Full Professor.

Excellent young candidates who do not yet qualify for a full professorship, are also 
invited to apply, and will initially be offered an associate professorship.

Full details can be found at: http://erec.uvt.nl/vacancy?inc=UVT-EXT-2011-0517.

Main responsibilities:
The candidate is expected to initiate and conduct fundamental and applied 
research in the Creative Computing (CC) research program. Within the program, the 
research currently focuses on computational modeling of cognitive processes, with 
application domains in language, vision, games and social signal processing. 
Furthermore, the candidate contributes (both in terms of teaching and organization) 
to the teaching program Communication and Information Sciences, in particular in 
the track Human Aspects of Information Technology (HAIT) and in the new track 
Data Journalism. The candidate has an important task in acquiring external 
projects and in managing tasks on the department and faculty level. Experience 
with applying computational techniques to humanities research in general is 
considered a bonus.

Profile:
The responsibilities that come with this function call for a scientist with a strong 
research and teaching background, preferably in computational linguistics, artificial 
intelligence, data mining or other relevant areas.

The successful candidate:
-  has a PhD thesis in a relevant discipline and has published in top international 
publication media;
-  has shown the ability to raise external funding for research;
-  has expertise in one or more of the domains covered by the research program 
Creative Computing, with a preference for Language and Communication as 
application area;
-  has clear and proven managerial and leadership qualities;
-  is willing to stimulate and support the development of collaboration across 
departments within the Tilburg School of Humanities;
-  has proven experience and affinity with research using different methodologies 
within a multidisciplinary context;
-  has proven academic teaching experience;
-  is able or willing to learn to communicate in Dutch.

Terms of employment:
Initially the selected candidate will apply for a temporary full-time contract during 
five years (starting with a one year contract which can be continued with four 
years). After three and a half years the performance will be evaluated with respect 
to the quality of research, education and management as well as with respect to 
the results and future expectations of acquiring sufficient external funding. A 
permanent and full-time position after five years is dependent on the positive 
outcome of this evaluation. The level of the position will depend on the experience 
of the candidate. Selected candidates will be ranked in the Dutch university 
employment system. The starting gross salary is (minimal) 4.902,- up to (maximal) 
7.142,- euro per month (for a full-time appointment as full professor). Researchers 
from outside the Netherlands may qualify for a tax-free allowance equal to 30% of 
their taxable salary. The Tilburg School of Humanities will provide assistance in 
finding suitable accommodation. The university offers very good fringe benefits.
