Description:

The Institute for Digital Humanities at the Georg-August-University Göttingen
invites applications for a research position (male/female/diverse) in Natural
Language Processing, Computational Linguistics or Computational Literary
Studies with an option for scientific qualification, e.g. PhD.

Renumeration is according to the German TV-L E13 pay scale. The position is

possible. The position is open with immediate effect, and the contract will
initially be for 2 years. This position was created with the aim of helping to
kickstart new DH initiatives at the institute. Subject to obtaining funding,
an extension of the position in the context of a research project is intended.

The successful candidate will work in interdisciplinary projects at the
intersection of NLP, Linguistics and Literary Studies. Göttingen University is
a research-oriented university in the centre of Germany and offers an
international and highly interdisciplinary working environment with motivated
colleagues and many possibilities for collaboration.

Tasks:
- Development, implementation, evaluation and dissemination of novel
algorithms for analyzing natural language, esp. factual and fictional texts
- Compilation and evaluation of large text corpora
- Teaching (currently 4 hours per week during term time)
- Interdisciplinary collaboration, esp. also with colleagues from the
Humanities and Social Sciences
- Organization of events, such as talks and workshops

Required Profile:
- MSc/MA in Computational Linguistics, (Applied) Computer Science, Digital
Humanities, Data Science or a comparable qualification
- Familiarity with algorithms for analyzing natural language, esp. text data
- Comprehensive knowledge of NLP algorithms and experience with statistical
models and machine learning methods
- Programming experience and excellent knowledge of at least one programming
language (e.g., Java or Python)
- Very good command of English
- Independence, reliability, ability to learn quickly and good communications
skills
- Strong willingness to work interdisciplinary

Knowledge of German and experience with one or more of the following areas
would be an advantage: Deep Learning,  Pattern Matching, Information
Retrieval, Text Mining, Knowledge Representation, Semantic Technologies.

The University of Göttingen is an equal opportunities employer and places
particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for women. Qualified
women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply in fields in which they are
underrepresented. The university has committed itself to being a
family-friendly institution and supports its employees in balancing work and
family life. The mission of the University is to employ a greater number of
severely handicapped persons. Applications from severely handicapped persons
with equivalent qualifications will be given preference.

Applications by 16.11.2020 will receive full consideration.
