From: Stergios Chatzikyriakidis [kafouroutsos at hotmail.com]
Subject: Computational Linguistics: Post Doc, University of Gothenburg, Sweden

 
University or Organization: University of Gothenburg 
Department: Department of Philosophy, Linguistics and Theory of Science
Job Location: Gothenburg, Sweden 
Web Address: https://www.gu.se/en/flov
Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher in Computational Linguistics
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics 


Description:

Subject Area Description:
The Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP) is based
in FLoV at the University of Gothenburg, and is funded by a 10-year grant from
the Swedish Research Council (2015-2025). CLASP is devoted to research and
advanced training in the application of probabilistic modeling and machine
learning methods to core issues in linguistic theory and cognition. It also
addresses topics in dialogue and linguistic interaction. For a description of
CLASP, see https://gu-clasp.github.io/.

Job Assignments:
The postdoctoral researcher is expected to conduct research in CLASP's core
areas of research in cooperation with the research group. More specifically,
people in CLASP are currently conducting research in linguistics and
computational linguistics using ideas from the following research areas:
- Machine Learning including Deep Learning and Neural Networks
- Computational and Experimental Methods in Psycholinguistics
- Theorem Proving and Bayesian Reasoning
- Neurolinguistic and Formal Models of Dialogue and Interaction
- Type Theory (or logics) and Probability
- Combining Logical, Machine Learning/Deep Learning, and Psycholinguistic
approaches
- Computational Models of Language, Vision, and Situated Interaction/Social
Robotics

Apart from research, duties may include mentoring graduate students, course
design, and/or teaching-related activities; such supplementary duties will not
exceed 20% of the position’s responsibilities.

The holder of the position is expected to carry out the vast majority of
her/his research in Gothenburg and to actively participate in the research
group's workshops, seminars, and conferences.

Eligibility:
A doctoral degree (or foreign equivalent), awarded at the latest by the
application closing date, is compulsory for a position as a postdoctoral
researcher at the University of Gothenburg. The doctoral thesis should be in a
relevant area according to the specific position stated here. Since the
postdoctoral researcher position is designed to give new PhDs the opportunity
to strengthen and develop their scholarly proficiency, priority will be given
to those whose doctoral degree was granted within 3 years of the application
closing date. Due to parental leave, sick leave or military duty, this period
can be extended. Eligibility criteria are described in the Gothenburg
University's Appointments procedure for teachers.

Assessment:
Scientific proficiency is the most important criterion for assessment, and
special attention will be given to the applicant’s PhD thesis and other
publications, and to her/his research plan. Priority will be given to
applicants whose research plan and prior work strengthen the research group
and the project overall. Documented good interpersonal skills, good skills in
terms of planning and organizing research, and good skills in communicating
research results is also meritorious. 

The recruitment process may include interviews (possibly by video link) and
contacting references.
