Job Title: Fixed term Assistant Professor in Computational Linguistics
Job Rank: Assistant Professor

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics 


Description:

The Department of Languages, Literature and Communication of Utrecht
University invites proven excellent candidates in the field of Computational
Linguistics, and especially candidates who specialize in models connecting
statistical NLP with formal language theories of syntax and semantics, to
apply. The candidate will be expected to make a substantial contribution to
both the computational linguistics research at the UiL OTS and to the AI
teaching programme. Accordingly, proven expertise in both linguistic theories
and in statistical NLP will be a strong advantage. A demonstrated interest in
collaboration with industrial partners will be considered an advantage.

Your teaching obligations will be in the area of natural language processing,
mathematical and computational linguistics, and language technology.
Additional teaching areas, depending on your expertise, may include formal
linguistics, artificial grammar learning, statistics, machine learning and
data mining. You will primarily teach in the AI programme (Bachelor's and
Master's), but also in the Bachelor's programme of Linguistics and the
Research Master's Linguistics.

Your research will be part of the Utrecht institute of Linguistics OTS, in
relation to the focus area Human-Centered AI.

Qualifications:

We Require:
- Extensive research experience in computational linguistics/natural language
processing, as demonstrated by a finished PhD and publications at an
internationally recognised level;
- Specialisation in statistical computational models that make use of formal
language theories;
- Experience in teaching at Bachelor's and Master's level;
- Experience with successful applications for external funding is recommended;
- Good communication skills;
- Fluency in English;
- Non-Dutch candidates are required to master Dutch at the CEFR - B2 level for
reading and listening within two years of appointment. Fluency in Dutch will
be a positive factor in facilitating teaching and interacting with
(Bachelor's) students;
- University Teaching Qualification (Dutch basiskwalificatie universitair
onderwijs, BKO). Candidates lacking this qualification should be prepared to
follow the BKO programme available within the faculty.

Offer:
We offer a position (1.0 FTE) for a period of one year. In case of a good
performance, extending the employment is one of the possibilities. The gross
salary - depending on previous qualifications and experience  - ranges between
€3,746 and €5,862 (scale 11-12 according to the Collective Labour Agreement
Dutch Universities) per month for a full-time employment. Salaries are
supplemented with a holiday bonus of 8% and a year-end bonus of 8.3% per year.
In addition, Utrecht University offers excellent secondary conditions,
including an attractive retirement scheme, (partly paid) parental leave and
flexible employment conditions (multiple choice model). More information about
working at Utrecht University can be found here.
