Description:

The Linguistics Department of the Faculty of Philology is seeking to fill the
position of W2-Professor of Computational/Experimental Approaches to Grammar.

The successful candidate will have a research focus on algorithmic modelling and/or experimental investigation of natural language processing and will combine this research with excellent expertise in grammatical theory, in the area of phonology, morphology, or syntax. The candidate's research output is expected to be highly visible internationally; success in acquiring third-party funds is desirable. As part of the responsibilities of the professorship, the selected candidate will participate in the BA and MA programmes of the department, and (s)he will contribute to the doctoral programme of the DFG Research Training Group Interaction of Grammatical Building Blocks (IGRA). Furthermore, an active participation in cooperative research projects is expected. 

Rights and obligations of the jobholder are within the Saxonian university law (Sächsisches Hochschulfreiheitsgesetz, SächsHSFG) and the Saxonian public service task regulation (Sächsische Dienstaufgabenverordnung, DAVOHS). Applicants must meet the requirements of § 58 SächsHSFG. (Essentially, this means (junior/assistant/associate/full) professor status, habilitation, or comparable scientific work.) The University of Leipzig emphasizes the equality of women and men. Handicapped applicants are encouraged to apply and given preference if equally qualified.

Applications with the usual documents, enclosing detailed CV, a list of the scientific work and academic teaching including available records of teaching evaluations and a certified copy of the certificate of the highest acquired academic degree should be sent before October 31, 2015.
