Subject: Computational Linguistics: Associate Senior Lecturer, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden

University or Organization: University of Gothenburg 
Department: The Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability
Job Location: Gothenburg, Sweden 
Web Address: http://clasp.gu.se/
Job Title: Associate Senior Lecturer in Computational Linguistics
Job Rank: Lecturer; Senior Lecturer

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics 

Description:

Type of employment: Fixed-term employment, limit 4 years
Extent: 100 %
Location: Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of Science,
Gothenburg
First day of employment: By agreement
Reference number: PER 2016/200

The Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP) is based
in FLoV at the University of Gothenburg, and is funded by a 10 year grant from
the Swedish Research Council (2015-2025).

Subject area: Computational Linguistics

Job assignments

Job assignments consist of research, teaching, supervision and some
administration. Administration and teaching will make up no more than 50% of
the employment.

The successful candidate is expected to devote at least half of her or his
time in research associated with the application of Machine Learning to
Computational Linguistics, and the rest in administration and teaching, mainly
within the Master's program in Language Technology.

The successful candidate will be a full member of the research teams working
at CLASP and will be expected to take part in the design and implementation of
research projects on an ongoing basis.

The successful candidate is expected to be physically present at the
Department and participate regularly in its activities. She/He will be given
the opportunity to develop her/his independence as researcher and furthermore
provide her/him with the qualifications that will allow her/him to pursue
other higher teaching positions. The associate senior lecturer will, upon
application, be considered for promotion to senior lecturer.

Eligibility

The eligible candidate must posses a PhD or equivalent scientific competence.
Usually, applicants who have achieved their PhD or equivalent scientific
competence no more than seven years before the application deadline will be
considered, although this is not a strict requirement.

Assessment

A proven track record in the following areas will be considered in the
selection process:

- Research experience and skills in Computational Linguistics with a special
emphasis in Machine Learning
- Pedagogical skills within the same subject, shown by experience in the
planning and implementation of training, including supervision and examination
- Participation in the international research community.

The applicant is expected to possess expertise in machine learning applied to
computational linguistic problems, and have done research in this area.
Applicants who are well acquainted with the issues related to CLASP's main
research areas will be given priority. Weight will be also given to: a) proven
interpersonal skills, b) the ability to plan and organize research and c) the
ability to communicate one’s own research.

Applicants are expected to have proven skills and experience in the teaching
of machine learning and computational linguistics. The ability to teach in
core areas of linguistics (such as syntax and formal semantics) is also
desirable.

Proficiency in English is a requirement for employment, both orally and in
writing, since teaching will be carried out in the Master in Language
Technology program, which is taught in English.

In addition to the cover letter, list of scientific papers and other
documents, the applicant must provide contact information for two references
from college or university. These references should be well acquainted with
the applicant's previous research. The application process may, in addition to
the examination of the submission merits, also include interviews.

Please see link for more information.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
