Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University at Buffalo invites
applications for a tenure-track position in computational linguistics at the
rank of Assistant Professor, beginning in Fall 2019. Candidates are sought
with a strong research record in the application of experimental, corpus, or
quantitative/statistical methods to the computational study of language.
Additional specializations are welcome. The successful applicant will be
expected to teach courses at all levels as well as serve on thesis committees,
establish and maintain a robust research program, pursue external funding when
available, and provide service to the University and discipline.

The Department of Linguistics at the University at Buffalo has a tradition of
research on diverse languages using diverse approaches to linguistics, with a
strong focus on syntactic and semantic typology, constraint-based models of
grammar (e.g. Construction Grammar, HPSG, RRG), psycholinguistics, and
linguistic fieldwork. The ideal candidate will have research interests that
complement those of members from the University at Buffalo’s Departments of
Linguistics, Computer Science and Engineering, Psychology, or Communicative
Disorders and Sciences. The university provides access to supercomputing
infrastructure via the Center for Computational Research.

Formal review of applications begins on November 1, 2018 and will continue
until the position is filled. Applicants should submit electronically a cover
letter, CV, and contact information for at least three references at the
application URL below. A research statement, teaching statement, and samples
of work are also required for a complete application. They may be attached via
the UB Jobs automated system or sent under separate cover by email to the
application contact email address below.

UB is an AA/EOE and welcomes all to apply including veterans and individuals
with disabilities.

Minimum Qualifications:
PhD in Computational Linguistics, Computer Science, Linguistics, or an allied
field of the language sciences. Demonstrated research in current approaches to
Computational Linguistics.

Exceptional ABD candidates who anticipate PhD conferral within a year of
appointment will be considered. In that case, the initial appointment will be
a one-year temporary appointment as Visiting Assistant Professor. Continuation
of appointment in the Assistant Professor title will be contingent upon
conferral of the PhD.

To Apply:
All application materials should be submitted via UB Jobs at the link provided
below. Application materials submitted directly to the posting contact will
only be considered under special circumstances and cannot include a cover
letter, CV, or contact information for references.
