Description:

A permanent position of Associate Professor of Linguistics with a
specialization in Computational Linguistics is available at the
Department of Linguistics and Scandinavian Studies, University of
Oslo. (Associate Professor is the entry level in Norway; moreover, it
is possible to apply for promotion to Full Professor after starting
the job.)

General linguistics at the department covers all of the discipline's
core areas (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics,
pragmatics), and a range of methodological approaches, including
corpus linguistics and experimental linguistics with a designated
focus on the promotion of open science. Resources at the department
include the Socio-Cognitive Lab (advanced audio-visual system,
eye-trackers and EEG), and we maintain close ties with the TextLab
(corpora, databases and other digital resources) at the faculty level.

The successful candidate is expected to initiate and lead research,
supervise PhD and MA candidates, participate in teaching and in exam
setting and assessment at all levels, and to carry out administrative
duties in accordance with the needs of the Department.

Qualification Requirements:
 - PhD or equivalent academic qualifications within linguistics or
another discipline related to the profile of the position.
 - Documented experience with research in computational linguistics
that engages with questions from general linguistics (e.g., phonetics,
phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics).
 - An ability to contribute to teaching at all levels, including
general courses at the BA level and more advanced BA and MA courses in
computational linguistics.
 - Documented pedagogical skills (either a teaching course certificate
or based on teaching experience) and a willingness to take active part
in academic leadership and administration.
 - Documented potential for project acquisition.
 - Excellent English language skills, both spoken and written.
 - Personal suitability and motivation for the position.

The following qualifications will count in the assessment of the
applicants:
 - Academic qualifications and academic production (publications,
tools, programs, libraries, etc) relevant to the advertised position,
with emphasis on works published within the last 5 years. Originality
and innovative thinking will be weighted more heavily than quantity.
 - International peer-reviewed publications.
 - Experience with research projects.
 - Effort to promote open science, e.g. through open data, open
materials, shared code, or preregistrations.
 - Potential to contribute to the long-term development of the
academic and research environment at the Department.
 - Pedagogical qualifications, documented results from teaching and
supervision, and disposition to inspire students.
 - Interest and ability in leadership and administration.
 - Ability to create and contribute to a positive environment for
collaboration.
 - Experience with and ability to build international networks.
 - Skills within popular dissemination, public outreach and
innovation.

We offer:
 - Salary NOK 615 000 - 714 000 per annum depending on qualifications.
 - A professionally stimulating working environment.
 - Membership in the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund.
 - Attractive welfare benefits.
 - The opportunity to apply for promotion to full professorship at a
later stage.

The application with attachments must be submitted in our electronic
recruiting system. For more information, see the full job announcement
