[E.J. Krahmer]

The Tilburg center for Cognition and Communication (TiCC) at Tilburg
University is looking for an enthusiastic and competent colleague for the
position of Full Professor.

Excellent young candidates who do not yet qualify for a full
professorship, are also invited to apply, and will initially be offered an
associate professorship.

Full details can be found here<http://erec.uvt.nl/vacancy?inc=UVT-EXT-2011-0517>.

Main responsibilities
The candidate is expected to initiate and conduct fundamental and applied
research in the Creative Computing (CC) research program. Within the
program, the research currently focuses on computational modeling of
cognitive processes, with application domains in language, vision, games
and social signal processing. Furthermore, the candidate contributes (both
in terms of teaching and organization) to the teaching program
Communication and Information Sciences, in particular in the track Human
Aspects of Information Technology (HAIT) and in the new track Data
Journalism. The candidate has an important task in acquiring external
projects and in managing tasks on the department and faculty level.
Experience with applying computational techniques to humanities research
in general is considered a bonus.

Profile
The responsibilities that come with this function call for a scientist
with a strong research and teaching background, preferably in
computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, data mining or other
relevant areas.

The successful candidate:
- has a PhD thesis in a relevant discipline and has published in top
international publication media;
- has shown the ability to raise external funding for research;
- has expertise in one or more of the domains covered by the research
program Creative Computing, with a preference for Language and
Communication as application area;
- has clear and proven managerial and leadership qualities;
- is willing to stimulate and support the development of collaboration
across departments within the Tilburg School of Humanities;
- has proven experience and affinity with research using different
methodologies within a multidisciplinary context;
- has proven academic teaching experience;
- is able or willing to learn to communicate in Dutch.

Terms of employment
Initially the selected candidate will apply for a temporary full-time
contract during five years (starting with a one year contract which can be
continued with four years). After three and a half years the performance
will be evaluated with respect to the quality of research, education and
management as well as with respect to the results and future expectations
of acquiring sufficient external funding. A permanent and full-time
position after five years is dependent on the positive outcome of this
evaluation. The level of the position will depend on the experience of the
candidate. Tilburg University is rated among the top of Dutch employers
and has excellent terms of employment. Selected candidates will be ranked
in the Dutch university employment system. The starting gross salary is
(minimal)  4.902,- up to (maximal)  7.142,- euro per month (for a full-time
appointment as full professor). Researchers from outside the Netherlands
may qualify for a tax-free allowance equal to 30% of their taxable salary.
The university will apply for such an allowance on their behalf. The
Tilburg School of Humanities will provide assistance in finding suitable
accommodation. The university offers very good fringe benefits (it is one
of the best non-profit employers in the Netherlands), such as a holiday
allowance, an options model for terms and conditions of employment and
excellent reimbursement of moving expenses.
