Job rank: Postdoctoral Researcher
Duration: 12 months
Salary: 24,000 EUR/year
Keywords: Linguistics, computational linguistics, history of sciences, 
philosophy of language

Application reference: EFL-HRP

We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on a cross-disciplinary
 
research project on the connexions between linguistics and natural language 
processing, with a strong epistemological and historical perspective.

The goal of the project is
to investigate how concepts and methods can be 
transferred from semantic theories to natural language processing systems, 
in order to determine to which distorsions theories are submitted when 
transformed into applications.
A case study will be chosen in agreement with 
the successful candidate. For example, in the case of Semantic Role 
Labelling, it will be valuable to study the different steps between Fillmore's 
theory, as presented in his 1968 paper, and its successive transformations 
into a semantic resource, such as Frame Net and PropBank. Other case 
studies might be chosen as well, such as DRT, etc.

Requirements : The candidate should have a PhD in linguistics, 
computational linguistics, history of science or philosophy of language, with a 
clear
interest for historical and epistemological aspects of linguistics and 
NLP.


The candidate should send a CV, including the names and addresses
of two 
academic referees, a list of publications and a covering letter outlining her/his 
research interest, namely how the candidate envisions
the project and which 
particular lines of research she/he intends to explore.
