Subject: Anthropological Linguistics; Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics: Rank Open, New York University, USA

 
University or Organization: New York University 
Department: Center for Data Science
Job Location: New York, USA 
Web Address: https://cds.nyu.edu
Job Title: Tenure Track Position Open Rank, Center for Data Science, NYU Arts & Science
Job Rank: Rank Open

Specialty Areas: Anthropological Linguistics; Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics; Data Science


Description:

We invite applications for a tenured or tenure-track position (rank open) for
outstanding candidates with demonstrated abilities in both research and
teaching in Social Science and Data Science. This is a fully joint position in
two academic units: a Faculty of Arts and Science social science department
and the Center for Data Science. 

Candidates should have a substantive background and active research interests
in Anthropology, Linguistics, Political Science, or Sociology. Candidates
should further have substantive interest and experience in Data Science
methodology, broadly defined, and use that knowledge in their research.
Examples of techniques and areas with which candidates might be familiar
include supervised and unsupervised learning, pattern recognition, data
mining, statistical modeling, natural language processing, high performance
computing, and using “text as data.” A PhD in one of the named social sciences
is preferred for junior candidates, and an ideal candidate would have advanced
training in both that social science and Data Science. A proven ability to
teach undergraduate and graduate courses in both a substantive domain, and in
data science techniques, is required for this position.

The starting date is September 1, 2020, subject to budgetary and
administrative approval. Applications should include a CV, a teaching and
research statement, a writing sample and at least three references. Because
diversity and inclusion are an important part of the NYU mission, we request
that you include a paragraph in your cover letter telling us how diversity and
inclusion figure into your past, present, and future teaching, research and
community engagement – additional information can be found here. Review of
complete applications will begin November 1, 2019 but all applicants will be
considered until the position is filled. Applicants must apply through the
following Interfolio application page provided at the application link below. 

The Faculty of Arts and Science at NYU is at the heart of a leading research
university that spans the globe. We seek scholars of the highest caliber who
embody the diversity of the United States as well as the global society in
which we live. We strongly encourage applications from women, racial and
ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, and other individuals who are
under-represented in the profession, across color, creed, race, ethnic and
national origin, ability, gender and sexual identity, or any other legally
protected basis. NYU affirms the value of differing perspectives on the world
as we strive to build the strongest possible university with the widest reach.

The Center for Data Science is the focal point for NYU’s university-wide
initiative in data science and statistics, established 6 years ago, and one of
the country’s leading data science research and training facilities. CDS is a
vibrant space with 16 jointly appointed faculty (growing to over 20 in the
next two years) and 11 associated faculty across computer science,
mathematics, engineering, neural science, linguistics, politics, psychology,
physics, biology and business; a list of affiliate faculty spanning a wide
range of NYU’s schools and departments, a highly successful Masters program,
one of the first Data Science PhD programs as well as the new undergraduate
program in data science. CDS’s research focuses on tools and methods at the
intersection between applied mathematics, data science, high-dimensional
statistics, machine learning, optimization, and several data driven
application areas.



Application Deadline: 01-Nov-2019 (Open until filled)
