Description:

Department of Linguistics
2015-2016

Assistant Professor (Tenure Track)
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing

The Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Davis invites applications for a tenure-track position in computational linguistics and natural language processing. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a research program in the use of digital technologies and quantitative methods to investigate fundamental questions about language structure, function, use, processing, or development. Possible areas of specialization include corpus linguistics, computational simulation of language development and change, probabilistic or deterministic modeling of grammatical knowledge, or information retrieval and data mining. We seek a dynamic scholar who can stay abreast of developments in this rapidly evolving field, without losing sight of the academic mission of a linguistics department. The appointee should be able to build collaborations with faculty with shared interests in other disciplines, such as computer science, statistics, psychology, or communication, and
  to actively seek external funding for research activities. 

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in linguistics or a closely related field by the first day of courses (September 21, 2016). A strong background in linguistic theories and methods is required, as is demonstrated ability to teach courses in computational linguistics and natural language processing, undergraduate-level courses in general topics in linguistics, and graduate-level courses in areas of specialization.    

Applicants should submit:  curriculum vitae, a cover letter that clearly states research and teaching interests and background, official graduate transcripts, one writing sample (publication, submitted manuscript, or dissertation chapter), a summary or abstract of the Ph.D. dissertation, and three letters of recommendation through the on-line application system found below. 

The position will remain open until filled. Applications received by October 18, 2015 will receive full initial consideration. This recruitment is conducted at the assistant rank.  The resulting hire will be at the assistant rank, regardless of the proposed appointee’s qualifications.  For inquiries and additional information please contact Dr. Raúl Aranovich via email (below). 

The University of California, Davis, and the Department of Communication are interested in candidates who are committed to the highest standards of scholarship and professional activities, and to the development of a campus climate that supports equality and diversity. The University of California is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer.

Application Deadline: 18-Oct-2015 (Open until filled)
