Job Location: Paris, France 
Web Address: http://www.labex-efl.org
Job Title: EFL International Chair 2015
Job Rank: Visiting Professor

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics 

Description:

I. Context and objectives of the call

The aim of the Laboratoire d’excellence “Empirical Foundations of Linguistics:
data, methods, 
models” (Labex EFL)  is to promote innovative and interdisciplinary research
within Linguistics 
and related fields. Specific interest is given to empirical foundations
(corpus analysis and 
experimental methods) of linguistic research. The EFL project is now launching
its 3rd call for 
applications for visiting professors. 

The Labex EFL is a nine year project, funded by the French Government
(ANR-10-LABX-0083). 
It gathers 13 research teams (Alpage, CRLAO, HTL, Lacito, Lattice, LIPN,
Llacan, LLF, LPP-P3, 
LPP-P5, MII, Sedyl) from 5 members of Sorbonne Paris Cité University
(Université Sorbonne 
Nouvelle, Université Paris Diderot, Université Paris Descartes, Université
Paris et Institut 
National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales), in a partnership with the
French National 
Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), the French Institute for Research in
Computer Science 
and Automation (INRIA) and the French Research and Development Institute
(IRD). 

Up to 8 applicants will be selected for the 2015 International Chair
“Empirical Foundations of 
Linguistics”. The selected applicants will join one of the EFL teams. The
visiting professor will 
be located in Paris in one of the most active academic communities for
linguistics. He/she is 
expected to give a series of lectures presenting innovative research in one of
the fields of the 
Labex EFL. The selected candidates will be advised with respect to the
organisation of their 
stay in Paris by a member of the Labex.

II. Position description

The labex EFL seeks  applicants in one of the following domains:
- Phonetic and phonological complexity
- Experimental grammar from a cross-linguistic perspective
- Typology and dynamics of linguistic systems
- Language representation and processing in a lifespan perspective
- Computational semantic analysis
- Language resources: lexica, corpora and tools
- Empirical methods in linguistics and epistemology

Eligible candidates are professors or researchers (tenured or not) affiliated
to a foreign 
research unit, willing to deliver a weekly seminar (that will be recorded) on
a research topic 
contributing to the EFL project (see website above), within a period of 4
weeks during the year 
of 2015. 

III. Application 

Applications should include:
- A curriculum vitae (with a list of publications)

The applications will be examined by the Labex EFL board of directors and the
head of the 
training programme. Final decisions will be made by the scientific council in
November 2014, 
according to the following criteria: 
- Academic excellence of the candidate 
- Relevance of the seminar proposal for the Labex EFL scientific project  
- Originality or complementarity between selected teaching missions

Notifications of acceptance will be sent shortly after the decisions of the
