Description:

Doctoral studentship position, one or several, in Computational Linguistics

The Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP) focusses
its research on the application of probabilistic and information theoretic
methods to the anaysis of natural language. CLASP is concerned both with
understanding the cognitive foundations of language and developing efficient
language technology. We work at the interface of computational
linguistics/natural language processing, theoretical linguistics, and
cognitive science. The Centre is based in FLoV at the University of
Gothenburg, and is funded by a 10 year grant from the Swedish Research Council
(2015-2025). For a description of CLASP see http://flov.gu.se/clasp. 

Job assignments

The successful candidate is expected to devote her or his time primarily to
the completion of obligatory course work and to write a doctoral dissertation.
He or she may, however, also undertake a limited amount of teaching,
administration or research not directly connected to her or his dissertation
topic. Such duties extend the position accordingly. As the position is funded
in part by a research grant from the Swedish Research Council the successful
candidate should write her or his doctoral thesis within one of the CLASP's
core areas and the research should fit in within the research programme of the
centre. People working on one or more of this areas as well as their
interface, are strongly encouraged to apply. More specifically, people in
CLASP are currently conducting research in linguistics and computational
linguistics using ideas from the following research areas:
- Type Theory (or logics) and probability
- Machine Learning including Deep Learning and Neural Networks
- Theorem Proving and Bayesian Reasoning 
- Formal Models of Dialogue and Linguistic Interaction
- Combining logical and Machine Learning/Deep Learning approaches
- Models combining language and perception

Applicants with interests in these or related domains are encouraged to apply.
The doctoral student is also expected to participate in the department's
activities, such as workshops, seminars and conferences.
