I. Context and objectives of the call

The Laboratoire d’excellence “Empirical Foundations of Linguistics: data,
methods, models” (Labex EFL)  is a nine-year project, funded by the French
Government (ANR-10-LABX-0083). It gathers 11 research teams (CRLAO, HTL,
Lacito, Lattice, LIPN, Llacan, LLF, LPP-P3, LPP-P5, MII, Sedyl) from 5 members
of Sorbonne Paris Cité University (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Université
Paris Diderot, Université Paris Descartes, Université Paris 13 et Institut
National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales), in a partnership with the
French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), the French Institute
for Research in Computer Science and Automation (INRIA) and the French
Research and Development Institute (IRD).

The aim of the Labex EFL is to promote innovative and interdisciplinary
research within Linguistics and related fields. Specific interest is given to
empirical foundations (corpus analysis and experimental methods) of linguistic
research. The EFL project is now launching its 6th call for applications for
visiting professors.

Up to 8 applicants will be selected for the 2018 International Chair 
“Empirical Foundations of Linguistics”.  The selected applicants will join one
of the EFL teams. The visiting professor will be located in Paris in one of
the most active academic communities for linguistics. He/she is expected to
give a series of lectures presenting innovative research in one of the fields
of the Labex EFL. The selected candidates will be advised with respect to the
organisation of their stay in Paris by a member of the Labex.

II. Position description

The labex EFL seeks applicants in one of the following domains:

- phonetic and phonological complexity
- experimental grammar from a cross-linguistic perspective
- typology and dynamics of linguistic systems
- language representation and processing in a lifespan perspective
- computational semantic analysis
- language resources: lexica, corpora and tools
- empirical methods in linguistics and
- epistemology

Eligible candidates are professors or researchers (tenured or not) affiliated
to a foreign research unit, willing to deliver a weekly seminar (that will be
recorded) on a research topic contributing to the EFL project.
(http://www.labex-efl.org), within a period of 4 weeks during the year of
2018.

Seminars can be given in French or in English.

The Labex will cover travel expenses (economic class) and provide a fixed
