The Language Technology Group at the Technische Universität Darmstadt 
and the Natural Language Processing Group at the University of Mannheim 
invite applications for

Two post-doctoral researcher positions in STATISTICAL NLP / ONTOLOGY 
LEARNING / INFORMATION EXTRACTION / MACHINE LEARNING:

The post-docs are expected to contribute to a new DFG-funded project - 
JOIN-T (Joining Ontologies and semantics INduced from Text) - jointly 
lead by Chris Biemann (TU Darmstadt) and Simone Paolo Ponzetto 
(University of Mannheim) on combining ontological information from 
large-scale knowledge bases (like Freebase, YAGO or DBpedia) with 
distributional semantic information encoded within large (i.e. 
web-scale) amounts of text.

We are particularly interested in candidates with a background in one or 
several of the following areas:

* statistical semantic processing
* machine learning and knowledge acquisition
* ontology learning and population
* distributed large-scale processing

Applicants should have a PhD (or obtain it in the near future) in 
Computer Science, Natural Language Processing, Semantic Web or Machine 
Learning and have previous research experience in human language 
technologies. The successful candidates have a strong research record in 
these areas, they are expected to be capable of working under limited 
supervision, and publish papers in top level conferences and journals 
along with other members of the research group.

Duration: initially two years (starting in Fall 2014) with possible 
extension of one year.
Salary range: according to German public scale TV-L 13 100% (full time, 
commensurate with experience and qualifications). Part-time positions 
are possible.

Applications can be made per e-mail (joint.dfg at gmail.com) and should 
include a short research statement, CV, copy of university degrees, list 
of publications and published software. Further information about the 
groups can be found at http://www.lt.tu-darmstadt.de/ and 
http://web.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/nlp. All documents should be 
e-mailed as a single PDF. All applications sent before June 31, 2014 
will receive full consideration. The positions remain open until filled.

The Universities of Mannheim and Darmstadt are committed to increase the 
percentage of female scientists and encourages female applicants to 
apply. Among candidates of equal aptitude and qualifications, a person 
with disabilities will be given preference.
