Subject: Computational Linguistics: Post Doc, University of Gothenburg, Sweden

 
University or Organization: University of Gothenburg 
Department: Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (based in FLoV)
Job Location: Gothenburg, Sweden 
Web Address: http://clasp.gu.se/
Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher in Computational linguistics
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics 


Description:

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). CLASP is devoted to research and
advanced training in the application of probabilistic modeling and machine
learning methods to core issues in linguistic theory and cognition. It also
addresses topics in dialogue and linguistic interaction. For a description of
CLASP see http://flov.gu.se/clasp

Job assignments:
The postdoctoral researcher is expected to conduct research in CLASP's core
areas of research in cooperation with the research group. 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.

Apart from research, duties may include mentoring graduate students, course
design, and/or teaching-related activities; such supplementary duties will not
exceed 20% of the position’s responsibilities. 

The holder of the position is expected to carry out the vast majority of
her/his research in Gothenburg and to actively participate in the research
group's workshops, seminars, and conferences.

Eligibility:
A doctoral degree is compulsory for a position as a post doctoral researcher
at the University of Gothenburg. The doctoral thesis should be in a relevant
area according to the specific position stated here. Since the post doctoral
researcher position is designed to give new PhDs the opportunity to strengthen
and develop their scholarly proficiency, priority will be given to those whose
doctoral degree was granted within 3 years of the application closing date.
Due to parental leave, sick leave or military duty, this period can be
extended. Eligibility criteria are described in the Gothenburg University's
Appointments procedure for teachers.

Assessment:
Scientific proficiency is the most important criterion for assessment, and
special attention will be given to the applicant’s PhD thesis and other
publications, and to her/his research plan. Priority will be given to
applicants whose research plan and prior work strengthen the research group
and the project overall. Documented good interpersonal skills, good skills in
terms of planning and organizing research, and good skills in communicating
research results is also meritorious. 

The recruitment process may include interviews (possibly by video link) and
contacting references.

For more general assessment criteria, cf. the Gothenburg University's
Appointments Procedure for Teachers.

Employment: 
Type of employment: Fixed-term employment, 2 years  Extent: 100%  Location:
Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of Science, Gothenburg  First
day of employment: By agreement.
