Description:

The Laboratoire d’excellence “Empirical Foundations of Linguistics: data,
methods, models” (Labex EFL) is a nine year project, funded by the French
Government (ANR-10-LABX-0083). It gathers 12 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 13 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).

The aim of the 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 5th call for applications for
visiting professors. 

Up to 8 applicants will be selected for the 2017 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. 

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.
(http://www.labex-efl.org), within a period of 4 weeks during the year of
2017. 

The Labex will cover travel expenses (economic class) and provide a fixed
weekly allowance (750 euros/week).

Seminars can be given in French or in English. 

Applications should include:

- A curriculum vitae (with a list of publications)
- A one-page summary of the intended seminar
- The dates of availability and intended length of stay in Paris.

Applications can be written in French or in English. 

Deadline for applications: June 15th, 2016 (midnight, Paris time)

Applications should be sent to Christel Préterre, Project Manager of the Labex
EFL (email below).

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 July 2016, 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
scientific council by Mr Puech, Director of the Labex EFL.
