Description:

We are seeking an expert of international renown to represent the subject of
multilingual computational linguistics with a focus on automated language
processing methods in teaching and research. This is a Chair-holder, tenured
civil-service post. Candidates must have rigorous knowledge of the core
computational linguistics concepts of several sub-areas (including lexis,
morphology, syntax, discourse linguistics, pragmatics, language technology and
machine learning) and be familiar with various methodological approaches and
their application in multilingual contexts. A willingness to develop and apply
theories, methods and technologies in the service of cultural sustainability
and linguistic ecology is expected. The multilingual computational linguistics
chair to be established should take as its object of analysis and comparison
different European national languages and variants thereof. Relevant teaching
experience is required.

The Chair is expected to make a significant contribution to the relevant
social-science, humanities and cultural-studies degree programmes of the
faculty. To this end, the Chair should participate in the development of new
degree programmes and the redesign of existing undergraduate and master's
programmes, including the teacher education programmes. It is expected that
the postholder teach research-led modules, particularly for the master's
degree programmes. Candidates must be able to teach courses in English and in
German.

Excellent publications on methodological questions, exemplary didactic ability
and dedication to teaching, a strong track record in the acquisition of
external (third-party) funds, proximity of the candidate's research interests
to the faculty's thematic foci and experience in interdisciplinary projects
are important selection criteria.

The successful candidate will be educated to doctoral level and either possess
a formal postdoctoral qualification, such as the German 'Habilitation', or
equivalent academic achievements garnered within or outside the higher
education system or as part of a previous assistant professor or comparable
role (e.g. German 'Juniorprofessur') or relevant qualification programmes such
as the Emmy Noether Programme of the DFG. He or she will have demonstrated
pedagogical aptitude and academic excellence, whereby the latter is generally
established on the basis of the quality of his/her doctoral research and
subsequent achievements, as applicable. In accordance with Art. 10(3)(1) of
the Bavarian Higher Education Employment Act (BayHSchPG), candidates must not
be more than 52 years of age at the time of their appointment.
