Description:

The Department of English invites applications for a Visiting Assistant
Professor position, beginning in January 2018, with specialization in
computational linguistics and/or innovative technical or scientific methods in
language science at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), with a focus on
one or more areas of application. Possible areas include:

- Deep learning for natural language understanding
- Speech and speech technology
- Multimodal and linguistic sensors
- Human-computer interaction
- Linguistic narrative analytics

The applicant should demonstrate a fit with our commitment to collaborate with
colleagues across the university on initiatives in artificial intelligence and
in digital humanities and social sciences. The position has the possibility of

natural language processing, linguistic/multimodal sensors, speech and speech
technology, and/or other computational or technical approaches applied to
language data. We are seeking a scholar who engages in disciplinary and
interdisciplinary teamwork, student mentoring, and has a coherent plan for
grant seeking activities. The right candidate will contribute to advancing our
interdisciplinary language science curriculum in a college of liberal arts at
a technical university. Contributions that build students' global education
experiences are additionally valued.

The teaching assignment may be Introduction to Language Science, Language
Technology, Introduction to NLP, Science and Analytics of Speech (acoustic and
experimental phonetics), Spoken Language Processing (automatic speech
recognition and text-to-speech synthesis), Seminar in Computational
Linguistics, self-designed courses, or another course depending on background.

We are seeking an individual who has the ability and interest in contributing
to a community committed to student-centeredness; professional development and
scholarship; integrity and ethics; respect, diversity and pluralism;
innovation and flexibility; and teamwork and collaboration.

Job Requirements:
- Ph.D. with training in Computational Linguistics, Linguistics, or an allied
field for language science, in hand prior to appointment date.
- Advanced graduate coursework in computational linguistics, including natural
language and/or spoken language processing or technical methods in
linguistics.
- Publication record and coherent plan for research and grant seeking
activities.
- Evidence of outstanding teaching.
