- Applicants with a specialization in lexical semantics must have demonstrable experience in the semantics of multi-word expressions and in computational corpus linguistics, as well as near-native competence in English. Programming experience is a plus.
- M.A./M.Sc. in Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, Computer Science or a related field.

The funding of this position is available until June 30, 2017, with a possibility of renewal contingent on a successful project review.
