Description:

The newly established Research Training Group "Adaptive Information
Preparation from Heterogeneous Sources" (AIPHES) [1] at the Technische
Universitaet Darmstadt [2] and at the Ruprecht Karls University Heidelberg [3]
is filling several positions for three years, starting on April 1st, 2015:

PhD-level Researchers in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics,
Information Management or related areas

The positions are for three years, starting with April 1st, 2015. The group
will be located in Darmstadt and Heidelberg. The funding follows the
guidelines of the DFG, and the positions are paid according to the E13 public
service pay scale.

The goal of AIPHES is to conduct innovative research in knowledge acquisition
on the Web in a cross-disciplinary context. To that end, methods in
computational linguistics, natural language processing, machine learning,
network analysis, and automated quality assessment will be developed. AIPHES
will investigate a novel, complex scenario for information preparation from
heterogeneous sources. It interacts closely with end users who prepare textual
documents in an online editorial office, and who should therefore profit from
the results of AIPHES.

We are looking for exceptionally qualified candidates with a degree in
Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, or a related study program. We
expect ability to work independently, personal commitment, team and
communication abilities, as well as the willingness to cooperate in a
multi-disciplinary team. Desirable is experience in scientific work.
Applicants should be willing to work with German-language texts, and, if
necessary, to acquire German language skills during the training program. We
specifically invite applications of women. Among those equally qualified,
handicapped applicants will receive preferential consideration. International
applications are particularly encouraged.

Applications should include a motivational letter that refers to one or two of
the planned research areas of AIPHES [1], a CV with information about the
applicant's scientific work, certifications of study and work experience, as
well as a thesis or other publications in electronic form. They should be
submitted by January 12th, 2015 to the spokesperson of the research training
group, Prof. Dr. Iryna Gurevych (Fachbereich Informatik, Hochschulstr. 10,
64289 Darmstadt) using the application e-mail address below.

More details on this training group, including the full version of this short
call, can be found at the AIPHES Web-site [1].
