The department of Information Science (Alfa-Informatica) at the University
of Groningen is seeking a temporary: 

Lecturer Information Science
Part-time (0,7) position for three years

The department is focused on computational linguistics, especially in
syntactic and phonological processing, and would most like to strengthen
this focus by attracting researchers in computational linguistics with
specializations complementary to those of the current staff, e.g. text
sentiment analysis, machine translation, computational semantics,
computer-supported language learning, computational simulations of language
behavior. We are willing to consider other, similar specializations.

The teaching duties will be concentrated on databases, language processing,
usability and/or simulation. The successful candidate will also be expected
to contribute to research, including grant proposals, and will be asked to
assume a share of organizational tasks, e.g. recruitment, communication or
software/hardware support. 

Requirements: 
-  A Ph.D. degree in (Computational) Linguistics or a related field such as
Linguistics, Computer Science, or Artificial Intelligence. 
-  Proven research ability documented by publications. 
-  Proven interest and success in computational studies is a must. 
-  Ability to work independently and interest in interdisciplinary research. 
-  Willingness to learn Dutch and to locate in Groningen.

11.0) on a full-time base. Commencement of employment is Aug. 2011. The
duration of contract is 70% for three years. We foresee reserving 20% for
research so that teaching responsibilities would be 50% for teaching.
