(probabilistic language modeling, keyword extraction, text summarization),
text mining (text classification, word embedding, topic models) and semantic
analysis of the text.

We Offer:
- A tenure track position (degree of occupancy 100%), with possibility of
prolongation;
- International working environment;

Desired Skills and Experience:
- The position is for a young researcher, who however has already obtained a
PhD on a topic relevant to Natural Language Processing and/or Text Mining;
- Master in informatics or other areas with strong emphasis on computation;
- Excellent programming skills and deep knowledge of libraries for natural
language processing;
- Proficiency in written and spoken in English;
- Communication and collaboration skills.

Optional but Preferred:
- Strong publications record;
- Capability of leading projects carried out with industrial partners on
automatic analysis of documents;
- Good knowledge of machine learning algorithms and tools;
- Good knowledge of written and spoken Italian, or willingness to learn it in
short times.

Applicants should submit the following documents, written in English:
-curriculum vitae
-list of exams and grades obtained during the Bachelor and the Master of
Science;
-list of three references (with e-mail addresses);
-brief statement on how their research interests fit the topics above (1-2
pages);
-publications list and possibly link to the thesis.

Applications should be submitted online, through the form available at the
link below.
