Description:

The Institute for Natural Language Processing (IMS) at University of Stuttgart
has an opening for a PhD student in the context of project MARDY [1] to work
on modelling argumentation dynamics in political discourse. MARDY is a
collaboration between computational linguistics and political science, headed
by Jonas Kuhn [2], Sebastian Padó [3] and Sebastian Haunss from University of
Bremen [4].

The successful candidate will develop methods to automatically identify
argumentation structures in news coverage, with a focus on supporting
efficient annotation, generalization across topic areas and languages, and
meaningful evaluation measures.

The candidate must have a Master’s degree in computer science, computational
linguistics or similar with substantial knowledge of machine learning methods
in NLP and strong programming and software engineering skills. Interest in
interdisciplinary work, basic knowledge of the German language and prior
experience with computational social science are very welcome.

The position will be available for three years, starting in October 2021. All
applications received until June 6, 2021 will receive full consideration. The
salary is according to the German university payscale (TV-L 13 65%, see [5]
