Description:

Your Role:

The PhD candidate will contribute to the STRIPS project, which aims at
developing a toolbox of semantic search algorithms for the Luxembourgish
Language. In this context, the term ‘semantic’ does not only refer to the
usage of keywords, bag-of-words or named entities like names, geographic
identifiers, et cetera, but fosters also on more complex structures, like for
example on topics or sentiment in texts. Methodologically, the focus lies on
natural language processing, on similarity learning (to allow fuzziness and to
account for variability), and on the identification of temporal
cross-dependencies. For evaluation, a large and heterogeneous text corpus
provided by a Luxembourgish news company will be utilized. Since the project
is carried together with the colleagues from the Computer Science Department,
the willingness to work in an interdisciplinary team is a basic requirement.

Your Profile:

- Master degree/Diploma in linguistics or equivalent.
- Excellent background in computational linguistics, corpus linguistics,
natural language processing, and/or information retrieval.
- Very good competencies in German or Luxembourgish, and English.
- Willingness to work in an interdisciplinary team.

We offer:

The University offers a contract which is renewable up to 3 years. The
selected candidate will work in an exciting international environment and will
be a member of the Doctoral School of the faculty. The University is an equal
opportunity employer.
