Description:

Open PhD Position in Computational Linguistics /Computational
Psycholinguistics, IMS Stuttgart

The Institute for Natural Language Processing (IMS) at University of
Stuttgart) has a opening for a PhD student in the context of a new project on
argumentation modeling [1], headed by Sebastian Pado [2] and Roman Klinger [3]
in close association with Kai Sassenberg [4] from Leibniz Institut für
Wissensmedien (IWM), Tübingen.

The successful candidate will investigate the interplay between argumentative
structure and emotional content in deliberative discourse using methods from
data mining and predictive modeling. Part of the goal is to develop methods
that automatically change the emotional connotation of statements and
arguments and to analyze how this changes perception.

The candidate should have a Master's degree in computer science, computational
linguistics or similar with substantial knowledge of natural language
processing including neural network modeling and strong programming and
software engineering skills. They require excellent communication skills, a
good knowledge of German, and interest in interdisciplinary work. Prior
experience with argumentation analysis, emotion analysis, or computational
psycholinguistics will be considered a plus.

The candidate will be employed by IMS and will also be associated with the
graduate college ''Cognitive Interfaces'' [5]. The position is available for
three years, starting as soon as possible. The position follows the German
university payscale (TV-L 13) [6] and will be between 65% and 100% depending
on previous experience. To apply, please send a full CV and letter of
motivation together in a single PDF document to Sebastian Pado,
pado at ims.uni-stuttgart.de. To ensure full consideration, please submit your
application until June 14, 2018.
