Description:

Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics

The Computer Science Department at Brandeis University invites applications
for a full-time, tenure-track assistant professor, beginning Fall 2019, in the
area of Computational Linguistics, including but not limited to Statistical
and Neural Machine Translation, Question Answering, Information Extraction,
Text Summarization, Syntactic and Semantic Parsing, Dialogue Systems, and so
on. Duties include the teaching of graduate and undergraduate courses in the
candidate’s specialty, in addition to core CL courses in the Computer Science
Department. Dissertation advising in the field of Computational Linguistics
and NLP, thesis advising (graduate and undergraduate), and university and
departmental service will also be expected. Applicants must have a completed
PhD in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics or a related field or must
have completed all requirements for the doctoral degree by the start of the
position with a proven publication record.

A research-intensive liberal arts university, Brandeis fosters highly
collaborative scientific research both within and between departments and
across the sciences. The suburban campus in Waltham, MA is just 20 minutes
from the bustling academic and biotechnology centers of Boston and Cambridge.
Brandeis is a member of the Association of American Universities and is ranked
in the top 35 national universities by US News and World Reports.

The Computer Science department has 13 regular faculty members with diverse
research interests. Besides all CS degrees, the department mounts the Language
and Linguistics undergraduate degree as well as a vibrant nationally
recognized Master’s program in Computational Linguistics. The goal for this
position is to enhance the research core and add diversity to the CL
offerings. A secondary goal is to increase elective courses in AI and Machine
Learning.

At Brandeis, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential
components of academic excellence. Brandeis University is an affirmative
action, equal opportunity employer that is committed to creating equitable
access and opportunities for applicants to all employment positions. Because
diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the core of Brandeis’ history and
mission, we value and are seeking candidates with a variety of social
identities, including those that have been underrepresented in higher
education, who possess skills that spark innovation, and who, through their
scholarly pursuits, teaching, and/or service experiences, bring expertise in
building, engaging and sustaining a pluralistic, interconnected, and just
campus community.

To apply, please submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a research and a
teaching statement, up to three publications, and three letters of reference,
to AcademicJobsOnline at the application link provided below. Applicants
should address at least one of these areas of faculty effort in their cover
letter or in a separate statement, indicating how their experiences,
interests, commitments, or future goals could promote departmental and
institutional pluralism, justice, and inclusion. 

First consideration will be given to applications received by January 1, 2019.
