Description:

The Collaborative Research Center 'Constitution of Meaning' (SFB 833;
http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/en/research/core-research/collaborative-research-c
enters/sfb-833.html) at the University of Tuebingen, Germany, has an opening
in a research project in Computational Linguistics for a computational
linguist or for a lexical semanticist. The project focuses on the semantic
interpretation of nominal compounds in English and German (Principal
Investigator: Erhard Hinrichs; www.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/~eh). 

The opening is either for a post-doctoral researcher (funded on a fulltime
position at the TV-L 13 German payscale) or for a PhD student (funded at
65-100% of a full-time position at the TV-L 13 German payscale, depending on
the applicant’s qualifications). 

Applicants in Computational Linguistics or Computer Science must have
demonstrable experience in machine learning for natural language processing
and with (object-oriented) programming (e.g. Java, Python, C++, R). Good
communication skills in English are required.

Applicants with a specialization in lexical semantics must have demonstrable
experience in the semantics of multi-word expressions and in computational
corpus linguistics, as well as near-native competence in English. Programming
experience is a plus.

The following academic qualification is necessary: completion of a PhD (for
post-doctoral applicants) or completion of an M.A./M.Sc. (for PhD student
applicants) in Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, Computer Science or a
related field.

The funding of this position is available until June 30, 2017, with a
possibility of renewal contingent on a successful project review.

Applications should include a CV, an outline of research experience, as well
as names and addresses of two referees, and should be sent by mail or by email
to the address below.

Applications received by February 27th, 2015 will receive full consideration,
although interviews may start at any time and will continue until the position
has been filled.

The University of Tuebingen promotes gender equality and in particular
encourages women to apply. Preference will be given to physically handicapped
persons if they are equally qualified.
