[Corpora-List] Job: Researcher in Computational Linguistics, Duesseldorf, Germany

[Laura Kallmeyer]

The Department for Computational Linguistics of the
Heinrich-Heine-Universitaet Duesseldorf, Germany (Chair of Computational
Linguistics: Prof. Dr. Laura Kallmeyer) offers a position as
wissenschaftliche/r Mitarbeiter/in (TV-L E13 100%) for a postdoc or an
advanced doctoral student.

The position starts in October 2012. Its duration is limited to two
years, maybe with the possibility of an extension. It includes 4 hours
of teaching per week in computational linguistics. Teaching is
supposed to be in German, if not immediately, then after a short
time. Therefore, if the candidate does not speak German yet, he/she
should be willing to learn and practice it.

The candidate should preferably have some teaching experience and
should be willing to participate in the research activities conducted
at the Department for Computational Linguistics. These cover the
following areas:

1. data-driven parsing
2. statistical machine translation
3. syntax-semantics interface, in particular (but not limited to)
  frame-based (i.e., feature-structure-based) semantic composition
4. grammar formalisms, in particular (but not limited to) Tree
  Adjoining Grammars

The Department for Computational Linguistics offers a rich and
stimulating research environment: It participates with several
projects in the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 991 funded by the
DFG, http://www.sfb991.uni-duesseldorf.de/en/sfb991/. The CRC is a
large collection of research projects; it focusses on the structure of
representations in language, cognition and science with a particular
emphasis on frames and on lexical semantics. Besides the CRC projects
there is also a project on parsing and machine translation,
http://www.phil-fak.uni-duesseldorf.de/beyond-cfg/.

Salary is on the German scale TV-L E13. The position is for two
years. The starting date is October 1, 2012.

Applications should include the following:

1. Cover letter outlining interest in the position and academic goals
2. CV
3. Copies of certificates
4. If available, a copy of the PhD thesis and other sample
  publications.
