[Corpora-List] Job: Research interns for language processing and text mining

[Tristan Miller]

The Leibniz Institute for Educational Research and Educational
Information (DIPF) <http://www.dipf.de/> in Frankfurt am Main is a
federally and state-funded member of the Leibniz Association. The
Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing Lab at the DIPF’s Information Center for
Education currently seeking

Interns
(for a term of six months)

in the field of
Language Processing and Text Mining

for its Frankfurt am Main location.

The position is part of the establishment of the new working branch of
the Ubiquitous Knowledge Processing Lab under the leadership of Prof.
Iryna Gurevych (UKP-DIPF) at the Frankfurt am Main location. The Lab
cooperates closely with the Technology-based Assessment
<http://tba.dipf.de/> and Information Management groups at DIPF, as well
as with the Department of Computer Science (UKP-TUD
<http://www.ukp.tu-darmstadt.de/>, Prof. Iryna Gurevych) at the
Technische Universität Darmstadt. It is the core of a newly built
institutional research priority for knowledge processing
<http://www.werc.tu-darmstadt.de/> at DIPF and the Technische
Universität Darmstadt.

The UKP Lab conducts research in the intersection of language processing
and machine learning, text mining, and knowledge discovery in the Web.
The Lab’s approach combines the foundations of large-scale language
processing, real-world text mining, and hands-on skills in the rapid
development of scalable systems with practical relevance.
Requirements

We are looking for graduate students working on some of the following
topics: language processing, text mining, machine learning, and data
visualization, with substantial theoretical knowledge, excellent
problem-solving and programming (Java) skills for language processing,
eagerness to apply the knowledge and skills in new contexts, and
interest to participate in internationally competitive research leading
to publications in the respective cutting-edge conferences. The ability
to work independently, personal commitment, teamwork and communication
skills, and a readiness to cooperate are required. The ability to speak
German is desired, but is not a hard requirement.

The position is ideally suited for individuals willing to acquire
graduate-level research experience to qualify as a PhD student, research
associate, or for an industry position.

Applications from women are particularly encouraged. All other things
being equal, candidates with disabilities will be given preference.

The position is a fixed-term contract with an option to extend it,
provided certain conditions are met. A part-time working arrangement is
possible.

As a scientific institution, the primary goals of the Leibniz Institute
DIPF are high-profile basic research and innovative scientific services.
Particular importance and visibility is attached to their application to
education in the public sector. DIPF avails itself of the expertise of
computer science at TU Darmstadt to build a research center for
knowledge processing and educational computer science.

The Department of Computer Science of TU Darmstadt is regularly ranked
among the best in Germany. Among the distinguishing features of the
nascent UKP-DIPF working group are its applications of semantic language
technology, text mining, and information retrieval, as well as its
powerful infrastructures for the aggregation and evaluation of knowledge.

Applications (including CV, details of previous academic work,
educational and professional references, and final thesis in electronic
form) should be submitted to gurevych (at) cs (dot) tu-darmstadt (dot) de.
