[Corpora-List] Two open positions in computational linguistics, IMS Stuttgart

[Sebastian Pado]

One PhD and one postdoctoral position in Computational Linguistics
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The research group of Theoretical Computational Linguistics at IMS,
Stuttgart University, is looking to fill two positions: one PhD
student position and one postdoctoral researcher position. Payment is
according to the German TV-L pay scale (TV-L 13 50% and 100%,
respectively; see [1] for details). Both positions are initially open
for three years.

The research group, headed by Sebastian Pado, is concerned primarily
with the cognitive and linguistic aspects of word and phrase meaning,
machine learning methods for meaning acquisition, applications of
lexical semantics as well as cross-lingual semantic analysis [2].

* The PhD position is in the area of semantics of
discourse. Prerequisite is a master's degree or diploma in
computational linguistics, computer science, or a related field.

* The postdoctoral researcher is expected to have a clear research
profile, contribute to the research agenda, and conduct independent
research. Prerequisite is a PhD degree in computational linguistics,
computer science, or a related field.

Candidates for both positions are expected to have substantial
previous knowledge of natural language processing, solid programming
skills. Prior experience in the specific areas outlined above is a
plus. Since both positions come with teaching obligations, candidates
need to have a good command of German, or be willing to acquire it
quickly.

Please send applications (a single PDF file containing a motivation
letter, CV, list of publications, research statement, and names of two
references) by email to Sebastian Pado, pado at ims.uni-stuttgart.de. 
Applications received by August 31st will receive full consideration. 
The positions are open until filled.

For further information, send me an email to pado at ims.uni-stuttgart.de
or meet me directly at ACL 2013.

Stuttgart University is an equal opportunity employer. Applications of 
women are strongly encouraged. Severely challenged persons will be given 
preference in case of equal qualifications.
