University or Organization: Bielefeld University 
Department: Semantic Computing
Job Location: Bielefeld, Germany

Job Title: Researcher
Job Rank: Researcher

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Computational Semantics; Linguistic Linked Data


Description:

The Semantic Computing Group at Bielefeld University is looking to fill a
position as research associate, either at PhD or postdoctoral level. The
position is associated to the newly granted project "Pret-A-LLOD" which is
funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 program. The goal of
the project is to develop new principles for linguistic linked data publishing
and to lay the foundations for a sustainable ecosystem of NLP services that
exploit Linguistic Linked Data. The candidate is expected to develop new
formalisms, tools and methods to manage and publish datasets as Linked Open
Data. The focus of the Semantic Computing Group will be on developing novel
approaches for indexing RDF datasets according to linguistic principles as a
basis to develop novel and advanced NLP services that support querying and
accessing data that is published on the Web following Semantic Web standards.
As a specific objective the group intends to develop new tools for the
generation and publication of grammars-as-a-service (GAAS) which can support
the configuration, virtualization and deployment of Question Answering Systems
over RDF data.

The following qualifications are mandatory:
- Master's degree in computer science, computational linguistics or related
- Solid programming skills and experience (e.g. Python or Java)
- Strong analytical skills
- Demonstrated ability to perform research (e.g. demonstrated via
publications)
- Knowledge of computational linguistics, computational semantics, and/or
natural language processing

The following qualifications are a plus:
- PhD in computer science or computational linguistics / natural language
processing
- Advanced knowledge of Semantic Web formalisms and methods (RDF, Linked Data,
SPARQL)
- Advanced knowledge in computational and compositional semantics
- Practical Experience working with grammars, parsing, meaning composition
- Experience with cloud architectures or virtualization (e.g. Docker)

The salary will be according to scale TV-L13 of the German University system,
amounting to approx. 3.800 EUR per month before taxes, depending on civil
status. It is a full time position. The starting date of the position is
planned March 2019.

Applications and inquiries can be addressed to Prof. Dr. Philipp Cimiano at
the application email provided below. The deadline for applications is
November 23rd. Interviews will be carried out in December.
