[LFG] Postdoc / Substitute Professor in Computational Linguistics, U Stuttgart, Germany

[Jonas Kuhn]

The research group of Foundations of Computational Linguistics [1] at IMS, Stuttgart University, is looking to fill a temporary position as a

     Postdoctoral Associate,

with the option of an extension as a

     Substitute Professor (Lehrstuhlvertretung).

The postdoctoral associate position is available for a starting date in October/November/December 2015 and can run until 31 December 2016, with payment according to the German TV-L pay scale (TV-L 13 100%; see [2] for details).  The substitute professor position is envisaged for the winter semester 2016/17 (1 October 2016 through 31 March 2017, at the level of W3 for suitably qualified candidates).

The postdoctoral position is a departmental position, which means that the person can conduct independent research and will typically have a teaching load of two 90-minute courses during the semester, contributing to our BSc and MSc programs in Natural Language Processing/Computational Linguistics.  Prerequisite is a doctoral degree in computational linguistics, computer science, or a related field.  The ideal candidate will contribute to one of the focus areas in our research group (cf. [1]), e.g., parsing, co-reference resolution, Digital Humanities, bringing in substantial previous knowledge of state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing methods and a thorough understanding of the underlying linguistic issues.  Knowledge of German is an advantage.
