Description:

Assistant Professor in Computational Linguistics in the Department of
Linguistics and School of Computer Science, McGill University

The Department of Linguistics and the School of Computer Science at McGill
University invite applications for a joint tenure-track appointment in
Computational Linguistics. The appointment is expected to be at the rank of
Assistant Professor and to begin on August 1st,2019. We seek candidates with
interests in the study of language from computational, mathematical, and
quantitative perspectives. The ideal candidate will have expertise in both the
language sciences and computer science. Potential research areas include, but
are not limited to, computational linguistics, natural language processing,
speech processing, computational cognitive science, machine learning applied
to language data, and the quantitative modeling of language.

Outstanding candidates may be eligible to receive a CIFAR Chair in AI
(https://www.cifar.ca/ai/pan-canadian-artificial-intelligence-strategy),
depending on their research profile. The successful candidate who satisfies
the eligibility conditions of the Canada Research Chair program may be
supported by the University for nomination to a Tier 2 Chair in Computational
Linguistics, which provides protected time for research within a full-time
academic appointment.

The successful applicant will be expected to develop a vigorous,
externally-funded research program, to communicate research findings in both
professional and public forums, to contribute to teaching at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels in Linguistics and Computer Science, and to
engage in service both within and outside the University.

Firmly committed to equity and inclusion, McGill welcomes applicants from
diverse identities and backgrounds and considers equitably the impact of
leaves that may contribute to interruptions/slowdowns in one’s career path.
Review of candidates will begin January 2, 2019, and continue until the
position is filled. For more detailed information and to apply, please consult
our websites at: https://www.mcgill.ca/linguistics/opportunities-visitors/ and
the application link provided below.

The Department of Linguistics and the School of Computer Science offer a
collegial environment with opportunities for interaction with world-class
researchers in linguistics and AI. McGill is routinely ranked as one of the
world’s best universities and there is ample opportunity for transdisciplinary
collaboration.

Montreal is home to very active linguistics, language science, and AI
communities, and both departments have ties to many other units such as
Psychology and the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders,
university-led institutes such as MILA and the Centre for Research on Brain,
Language and Music, industry-led AI research groups (e.g., Google, Facebook,
Microsoft, Samsung, Borealis, Thales, and several more), as well as a thriving
and rapidly growing AI and data science startup community. Montreal is a
historic and cosmopolitan city, home to several universities, and considered
one of the best cities for students.



Application Deadline: 02-Jan-2019 (Open until filled)
