University or Organization: Western Sydney University 
Department: MARCS Institute
Job Location: Sydney, NSW, Australia 
Web Address: http://www.westernsydney.edu.au/marcs
Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Modelling of Language Learning/Processing
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Psycholinguistics 


Description:

The Speech and Language Program in the MARCS Institute in association with the
ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language is seeking a
postdoctoral researcher with high level skills and expertise in the area of
computational modelling of language. 

The MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour, and Development is an
interdisciplinary research institute of Western Sydney University. Research at
MARCS is conducted in five interdisciplinary research programs: Speech &
Language, Music Cognition & Action, Biomedical Engineering and Neuroscience,
Multisensory Communication, and Human-Machine Interaction. MARCS is located on
the Bankstown, Campbelltown, Kingswood and Parramatta campuses.

Administered by The Australian National University, the ARC Centre of
Excellence for the Dynamics of Language (COEDL) includes the following
Collaborating and Partner Organisations - The University of Melbourne; The
University of Queensland; University of Western Sydney (The MARCS Institute);
Appen Pty Ltd, Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
Studies; Chinese University of Hong Kong; Cornell University, NY; Max Planck
Institute for Psycholinguistics; Nanyang Technological University, Singapore;
The Pennsylvania State University; The University of Auckland, NZ; The
University of Hong Kong; The University of Manchester; University of Liverpool
and University of Surrey. 

COEDL will address the most critical questions about language: How do
languages evolve? How different can languages be? How do our brains acquire
and process them? How can technologies deal with the complexity and enormous
variability of language in its central role in human information processing?
What can Australia do to increase its linguistic abilities at a time of
increasingly multilingual demands in trade and information? The Centre will
also secure language heritage, develop new language technologies, connect
policy with Indigenous and migrant communities, and build strategies to help
1st and 2nd language learning and those isolated by language difficulties. 

We are seeking a dynamic, forward thinking and innovative scholar to take up
this postdoctoral fellowship. The successful applicant is expected to be
developing a strong international standing and research reputation, based on
an excellent research background in computational science or computational
linguistics specifically in computational psycholinguistics or computational
phonetics/phonology. 

This is a full-time, fixed term position for a period of 12 months based at
our Bankstown campus.

Please search for the job posting at the application URL below to begin the
registration process and application.

Please note: Applicants need to submit within their on-line application a
research and scholarly activity plan (i.e. a research proposal) for the
position that they have discussed with Associate Professor Paola Escudero.

Remuneration Package: Academic Level A (Step 3-Step 4) $93,659 to $99,365 p.a.
(comprising Salary $84,498 to $89,646 p.a., plus 9.5% Superannuation, plus
Leave Loading)
