[Corpora-List] Full Professor, Computational Linguistics, Saarland University

[Bernd Moebius]

Saarland University is a campus university with an international focus 
and a distinctive research profile.

The Faculty of Linguistics, Literary and Cultural Studies (Humanities 
II) at Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany invites applications 
for a tenured Full Professor (pay scale W3) in Computational Linguistics 
(reference number W785) starting on October 1st, 2014. The position is 
located in the department of Computational Linguistics and Phonetics (FR 
4.7, Allgemeine Linguistik).

The successful candidate will be an internationally distinguished expert 
in the linguistic foundations of natural language processing, as 
demonstrated by excellence in computational modelling at (one or more 
of) the lexical, sentence or discourse/dialog level. Demonstrated 
ability to combine symbolic and distributional approaches is also 
desired. The department participates actively in the Center of 
Excellence for Multimodal Computing and Interaction and is involved in 
many national and international research projects and initiatives. 
Experience in acquiring external funding and in leading research 
projects is therefore crucial. The successful candidate is expected to 
contribute to the university‘s research profile, both at the department 
and the faculty as well as across faculties (e.g., collaboration with 
applied linguistics and computer science), and to participate in 
large-scale coordinated projects. Cooperation with partners within the 
international SaarLorLux region is expected and will be supported.

The position comes with the 9 hrs/semester teaching duties of tenured 
professorships. The successful candidate will teach core courses and 
specialization courses in the department's M.Sc. and B.Sc. programs and 
contribute to the further development of these programs. As the B.Sc. 
courses are taught in German, applicants should have a working knowledge 
in German or be willing to acquire it rather quickly. The international 
M.Sc. courses are taught in English.

Employment requirements are a doctoral degree, teaching experience, and 
an excellent academic record. In the German university system this 
usually means a habilitation or equivalent academic achievements. 
Applicants are requested to submit their application, together with an 
academic CV, a record of their teaching experience, a list of academic 
publications, and copies of academic degree certificates.

The deadline for application is November 21st, 2013.

Saarland University is an equal opportunity employer. Applications of 
women are strongly encouraged for this type of position; applications of 
disabled persons will be given preferential treatment to those of other 
candidates with equal qualifications.

Applications should be sent to the application email address below.

Application Deadline: 21-Nov-2013
