University or Organization: CUNY Graduate Center

Description:

The PhD/MA Program in Linguistics (www.gc.cuny.edu/linguistics) at the
Graduate Center of the City University of New York invites applications for a
full-time, tenure-track, open-rank (untenured Assistant Professor to tenured
Full Professor) position to begin Fall 2018. 

The Program is an exciting opportunity for applicants with an independent
research record in computational linguistics. Applications should demonstrate
exceptionally strong computational expertise.  We are looking for excellent
researchers working on models of language that connect computational
linguistics and theoretical approaches to human language.

The successful candidate should also have knowledge of several areas of
applied natural language processing to the extent that they can teach graduate
level courses in NLP and mentor students outside of their specific research
area. Integration of applied NLP into the candidate’s research agenda would be
welcome.

The successful candidate will become actively involved in teaching, developing
and adapting graduate curricula, and advising MA and PhD students.  He or she
will also have day-to-day administrative responsibilities within the
Computational Linguistics track in the Program.

We offer two graduate degrees specializing in computational linguistics, a
32-credit MA and a PhD.  Designed as “one-of-a-kind” computational linguistics
programs in the NYC area, they cater to both students with little or no
computational background, as well as to students with undergraduate or
industry experience in computer science or related language technologies.

Certain courses are offered to Linguistics students only, but several are
cross-listed with the PhD Program in Computer Science. Accordingly,
demonstrated ability to teach successfully to both demographics of students is
required. 

The ability to work in collaboration with The Graduate Center and the City
University of New York to create opportunities and employment pipelines for
our graduate students would be an important asset.

Qualifications:
- A PhD in Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, Computer Science (with a
clear specialization in language applications), or related area
- Extensive research experience in computational linguistics, as demonstrated
by publications in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings
- Ability to teach graduate courses and supervise MA theses and PhD
dissertations

Other Qualifications:
- A secondary research profile in one or more of the following fields:
Language Technology, Machine Learning, Statistical Approaches to Language,
Data Mining, Corpus Analysis, Speech Processing.

How to apply:
Please submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a research statement including
scholarly interests, a teaching statement including topics of seminars the
candidate is prepared to offer, and names of four (4) references, and
supporting documents online at the application link below. (Alternatively, go
to http://cuny.jobs/ and search for Job ID 17573.)
 
CUNY encourages people with disabilities, minorities, veterans and women to
apply.  At CUNY, Italian Americans are also included among our protected
groups.  Applicants and employees will not be discriminated against on the
basis of any legally protected category, including sexual orientation or
gender identity. EEO/AA/Vet/Disability Employer.
