From: Claire Saillard [claire.saillard at linguist.univ-paris-diderot.fr]
Subject: Computational Linguistics: Assistant Professor, Université Paris Diderot, France

 
University or Organization: Université Paris Diderot 
Department: Linguistics
Job Location: Paris, France 
Web Address: http://www.linguist.univ-paris-diderot.fr
Job Title: Computational Semantics
Job Rank: Assistant Professor

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Computational Semantics


Description:

The Department of Linguistics at Université de Paris (newly created by merging
Paris Descartes and Paris Diderot) is expected to open a position at the rank
of Assistant Professor (Maître de Conférences - MCF) in computational
semantics, starting in Fall 2020.

The Paris Diderot Computational Linguistics (CL) curriculum was the first of
its kind in France (first class in 1984), and has always been characterised by
the ambition to offer, in a linguistics department specialised in formal
linguistics, quality training in computer science, with requirements
comparable to those of scientific training. To support this multidisciplinary
ambition, the curriculum grounds its training in both linguistics and computer
science departments.

Research & Teaching:
Research will be conducted within the Laboratoire de linguistique formelle
(LLF - UMR 7110 / CNRS and Université de Paris – http://www.llf.cnrs.fr/en).
The research profile of the position is in computational semantics, at the
crossroads of linguistics, computer science and mathematics.

The candidate is expected to formulate a world-class research project in the
field of computational semantics and be able to supervise students in this
field. The prospects for integration into the LLF will have to be discussed,
in particular within the computational linguistics strand
(http://www.llf.cnrs.fr/en/research-topics). A formal semantic and/or
experimental semantic component will be a plus. Research may also be carried
out within the framework of the LabEx Empirical Foundations of Linguistics
(EFL, http://www.labex-efl.com) and in particular its strand 5 "computational
semantics".

The candidates will have to demonstrate a solid knowledge of linguistics and
computer science. They will be able to teach fundamental courses in the LI
curriculum, including courses in computational semantics, logic, formal
foundations of NLP, as well as "Discovery" Bachelor's degree courses (e. g.
“logic and language”, “language and artificial intelligence”). With a good
knowledge of current NLP applications, they will be able to supervise
students’ projects. They may also be involved in the Theoretical and
Experimental Linguistics program (at the L3 or master level), for example in
semantics, corpus processing, or experimental methods. The ability to
participate in the new Data Science Master’s degree of the Mathematics Dpt. is
a plus that will be appreciated.

Teaching covers the Bachelor's, Master's and Doctoral degrees. The successful
candidate will be able to teach computational linguistics and machine learning
methods in the CL curriculum, but must also demonstrate a solid general
knowledge of both the underlying mathematical and computational foundations
and the theoretical foundations in linguistics. The candidate should have good
knowledge of the current application tasks in NLP and be able to supervise
student projects. Ability to teach in the core curriculum of the Master's
degree in Language Sciences (methodological courses, such as corpus
processing, experimental methods or more fundamental courses) is a plus that
will be appreciated.

Mandatory Qualification:
- For all candidates (French and international) “qualification” by the French
National University Committee is requested before they can apply for a
position. For the qualification stage, registration and application submission
before October 24th, 2019, 4 P.M. (Paris time) on the Galaxie website (see URL
above).

Application proper starts in February (u-paris.fr). Tentative deadline : March
26, 2020.

The job starts on September 1st, 2020.
