University or Organization: University of British Columbia

Job Location: British Columbia, Canada

Job Title: Assistant Professor of Research in Computational Linguistics
Job Rank: Assistant Professor

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Speech Technology


Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia invites
applications for a tenure-track position in Computational Linguistics to begin
July 1, 2022, with appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Linguistics, Computer Science or a closely
related field and have demonstrable expertise in speech technology, in the
context of speech and language processing or computational linguistics. We
especially encourage applicants who embrace a multifaceted approach to speech
processing, for example combining methods and insights from speech technology
with more traditional linguistic inquiry. The candidate will have a record of
or potential for high-quality research and teaching at the graduate and
undergraduate levels in speech technology (incorporating machine learning),
plus at least one of the following areas: NLP; computational phonology,
phonetics or morphology; computational approaches to low-resource languages.

The Department of Linguistics at UBC has recently established a new
professional Master of Data Science program dedicated to Computational
Linguistics. The successful candidate will teach and supervise graduate
students in the MDS-CL and Linguistics programs, as well as in the
undergraduate Linguistics and Speech Sciences programs. Experience in the tech
industry is an asset but not a requirement. This position also offers the
opportunity for membership in multiple interdisciplinary groups -- including
the Artificial Intelligence Methods for Scientific Impact (AIM-SI) research
cluster (part of the Centre for AI Decision-making and Action), as well as
UBC’s Language Sciences Institute.

Applicants are asked to provide all of the following:
 - A letter of application that describes how they meet the above-listed
requirements;
 - A curriculum vitae;
 - A research statement;
 - A one-page teaching statement, and evidence of teaching experience (or a
sample syllabus from a relevant
course the applicant has taught or developed);
 - A one-page statement about their experience working with a diverse student
body and their contributions
or potential contributions to creating/advancing a culture of equity and
inclusion;
 - Two samples of published scholarship; and
 - The names and contact information of three academic or other professional
referees.

Application materials must be submitted online at the application link below.
Please use PDF file format for all application materials. Review of
applications will begin soon after December 10, 2021, and will continue until
the position is filled. 

Enquiries about the position may be addressed to Dr. Anne-Michelle Tessier,
Chair of the Search Committee, at
the email address below, with “Research Position in Computational Linguistics”
in the subject line.

For additional information, please see the full job posting at the application
link below.
