Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign invites applications for a tenure-track position in
Computational Linguistics with specialization in Speech Processing at the rank
of Assistant Professor. The appointment will be a full-time, nine-month
position. The target start date of appointment is August 16, 2019. Salary is
competitive.

Ph.D. in Linguistics, Computer Science, or a related field, is required.
Candidates with superior qualifications who will complete all the Ph.D.
requirements within the first appointment year may be appointed at the rank of
Instructor. After the Ph.D. requirement is met, the appointment will be
changed to Assistant Professor. The successful candidate will have a
demonstrated record of excellence in independent research, be highly qualified
for undergraduate and graduate teaching, and demonstrate the potential to
attract external funding. We are particularly interested in scholars active in
the areas of speech and language processing, deep learning, machine learning,
with enough supplementary background in linguistics or phonetics to engage
with Linguistics colleagues in collaborative initiatives and to help train
students in the LING MA, PhD, and BA programs, in addition to the BS in
Computer Science & Linguistics (CS+LING) and Master of Science in Speech and
Language Processing Technologies (MS-SLPT) programs. An interest in
multilingual speech processing is preferred. The ideal candidate will
complement and build on existing strengths within the department, and will be
eager to interact with students and faculty from the broader linguistics and
language processing community at the U of I. Our setting provides rich
opportunities for interdisciplinary research and teaching, supported by our
renowned libraries, the UIUC Research Board, and the interdisciplinary
research communities in facilities like the Beckman Institute for Advanced
Science and Technology. The department has strong ties to industry and to
other Illinois departments that are home to computer scientists, engineers,
library scientists, psychologists and speech & hearing scientists.
