Description:

As part of the career development programme for junior researchers funded by
the German federal and state governments, Saarland University is inviting
applications for the following tenure-track junior professorships commencing
winter semester 2018. These positions will initially be fixed-term public
sector positions (‘Beamtenverhältnis auf Zeit’) for a period of three or four
years. The duration of the appointment may be extended up to a maximum of six
years in total if this is supported by the results of the teaching appraisal
and the external assessment of the appointee’s research work. If performance
continues to meet the required standards and if the tenure evaluation
procedure is positive, the junior professor (at the German academic salary
scale W1) will be promoted to a permanent professorship (lifetime tenure) at
the German academic salary scale W2.

Together with other departments in the Faculty, the Dept. of Language Science
and Technology is very actively involved in the CRC 1102 ‘Information Density
and Linguistic Encoding’ (http://www.sfb1102.uni-saarland.de) and contributes
significantly to the Saarbrücken Cluster of Excellence ‘Multimodal Computing
and Interaction’ (http://www.mmci.uni-saarland.de). We welcome applications
from scientists willing to contribute to and complement our existing areas of
research. Applicants should be researchers of proven merit in the field of
language theory, they should have an excellent command of the relevant
empirical and quantitative methods and their main research interests should be
in one or more of the following areas: language typology, language evolution,
language diversity, multilingual language technology and multilingual language
resources. The range of languages investigated should include
non-Indo-European languages, of which one should be a widely used language,
such as Chinese. It is expected that candidates will have experience of
working in collaborative research projects and experience in acquiring
external research funding. The appointment will be made in accordance with the
general provisions of German public sector employment law. Candidates must be
university graduates with experience in and an aptitude for academic teaching
who have shown a particular capacity for independent academic research,
generally through the outstanding quality of their PhD or doctorate. For
additional information on employment requirements, please refer to 1.4 of the
Framework Regulations Governing the Approval, Recruitment and Evaluation
Procedures for Junior Professorships at Saarland University
(http://www.uni-saarland.de/Berufungen).

Your application should include copies of your degree certificates, a list of

Einstellungsvoraussetzungen’ (http://www.uni-saarland.de/Berufungen), your
