Subject: Computational Linguistics; Morphology; Semantics: Post Doc, Labex EFL, Paris, France

 
University or Organization: Labex EFL 
Job Location: Paris, France 
Web Address: http://www.labex-efl.com/wordpress/?lang=en
Job Title: Postdoctoral fellowship in Quantitative Morphology
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Morphology; Semantics 


Description:

Labex EFL (Empirical Foundations of Linguistics) is recruiting a postdoctoral
researcher in quantitative morphology. The position is for 12 months (full
time) and, depending on the results, can be renewed for another 12 months. The
position is provided by the strand on « Experimental Grammar » of the Labex
EFL project (strand 2). The ideal profile combines a linguistic expertise in
morphology and/or lexical semantics and advanced skills in statistical
modeling, machine learning and/or experimental linguistics. However,
applications demonstrating expertise in one of these two area will be
considered carefully. 

The postdoc will work within the context of the Morph3 work package, entitled
The many-to-many nature of lexeme formation. Phenomena currently being studied
within Morph3 include rivalry between morphological processes and the rivalry
between morphologically marked vs unmarked sense extensions. Language(s) under
study will be decided taking into account the postdoc’s expertise.

There are no teaching requirements in this position. However, regular
participation in collective scientific activities (e.g., seminars) will be
expected. Knowledge of French is not required.

Research Environment:
The postdoc will be affiliated with the Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle
(LLF http://www.llf.cnrs.fr/), located in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.
The LLF is an interdisciplinary research laboratory linked to the Department
of Linguistics (UFR de Linguistique) at the Université Paris Diderot
(https://www.univ-paris-diderot.fr/), which brings together researchers from
computational, experimental, theoretical, and descriptive linguistics. The lab
has an experimental room with experimental material (eyetracker, SMI glasses,
portable EEG...), and houses a computing infrastructure for machine learning.
Research will benefit from the support of an engineering team with competence
on linguistics resources, experimentation and computing. 

Starting date and salary: 
The intended starting date of the position is Oct 1, 2019. The applicant's PhD
should have been defended and filed by the starting date. The position will
pay 26.000 euros net per year.

Application details: Prospective applicants should send:
- A curriculum vitae including publications 
- A description of the research project to be undertaken during the contract
(up to 4 pages) 
- A website address where the publications can be downloaded. 
- Names of 3 professors for reference letters.

For full consideration, please send the application in a single email by May
15, 2019. All communication and materials should be addressed to the
application emails address below. We intend to ask for reference letters in
May and (videoconference) interview and select candidates in early June 2019.

Application Deadline: May 15, 2019

Contacts for applications: Lucie Barque and Olivier Bonami
