Subject: Computational Linguistics; Cognitive Science: Rank Open, University of Trento, Rovereto, Trentino, Italy

University or Organization: University of Trento 
Department: CIMEC (Center for Mind/Brain Sciences)
Job Location: Rovereto, Trentino, Italy 
Web Address: https://www.cimec.unitn.it/
Job Title: Associate / Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Computational Linguistics
Job Rank: Rank Open

Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; Theoretical Linguistics

Description:

The Center for Mind-Brain Sciences (CIMeC) at the University of Trento, Italy,
invites expressions of interest from highly motivated scholars with the view
to open a principal investigator position at the level of Full Professor,
Associate Professor or Tenure Track Assistant Professor (if after 3 years the
tenure track AP has obtained the Italian Scientific Habilitation for Associate
Professor, she/he will be evaluated to obtain the Associate Professor Position
at CIMeC).

Profile: 
The ideal candidate for the assistant professor position would have an
excellent research record in computational linguistics. A good knowledge of
theoretical linguistics and/or the ability to carry out experimental work
involving human subjects will be preferred. In addition, candidates to the
associate and full professor positions should demonstrate ability in
attracting external funding and leading a research team, as well as good
connections to the international community. All candidates, regardless of
level of seniority, will be expected to participate in the administrative life
of CIMeC and should show willingness to work in a team. All should also
demonstrate enthusiasm for teaching and supporting students throughout their
academic training.

The successful candidate will work in the CIMeC Language, Interaction and
Computation Lab CLIC at the CIMeC Center for Mind-Brain Sciences. He/she is
expected to be interested in interacting with the rest of CIMeC faculty on
general cognitive neurosciences issues, and help develop cutting-edge research
at the intersection between computational linguistics, theoretical linguistics
and general cognition and neuroscience. Knowledge of Italian is appreciated
but not required.

The University of Trento particularly welcomes EoI from women candidates.

The candidate is also expected to contribute to the Center’s overall goal of
delivering high-quality teaching in English at BSc, MSc and PhD level.Tenure
Track Assistant Professors are expected to teach 90 hrs/year, while duties for
Associate and Full professors are 120 hrs/year. The position holder will have
a personal grant for research/travel expenses. The research group will
negotiate the possibility of supervising PhD students fully funded by the
University.

UniTN and CIMeC:
The University of Trento has systematically ranked in the top tier positions
in Italy in the past 10 years in both national Research Assessment Evaluations
(RAE) and University Surveys. In the latest RAE the University of Trento as a
whole ranks 1st among medium universities. The CIMeC's goal is to foster
cutting-edge research on cognition and its neural underpinnings and to support
the dissemination of these findings internationally and within the local
community. As an interdisciplinary research and teaching center, it draws on
faculty from several departments, including Psychology and Cognitive Science,
Biology, Physics, Mathematics, and Information Engineering and Computer
Science. Its faculty originates from Italy, Germany, The Netherlands New
Zealand, Belgium, USA, UK, Argentina, Israel and beyond.

In the last 5 years CIMeC PIs have won many competitive national and
international grants, including several European Research Council (ERC)
grants, other European Framework grants and highly competitive grants awarded
by the local province. The center has recently been recognized as the leading
cognitive neuroscience research department in Italy. It is part of the Erasmus
Mundus Master Program.

Expressions of interest in English should include a brief motivation letter
