research activity in the computational analysis of language (e.g. Machine
Learning, Neural Networks, AI).

The Associate Professor will pursue an active research agenda in the studying
language and linguistics from a computational perspective. The Associate
Professor will participate in interdisciplinary projects in the Department of
Humanities. With regards to the University’s research priority «Data Modelling
and Simulation» the Associate Professor will contribute to the research domain
«Modelling and digital humanities». Furthermore, a cooperation with the ILIAS
lab of the Computer Science Department is foreseen.

The job holder will teach on Bachelor and Master and PhD level (among others

en enseignement secondaire). Besides topic in computational linguistics the
job holder will give classes in general linguistics.
