Description:

PhD scholarship in NLP and Second Language Acquisition

Applications are invited for a three-year PhD position in Natural Language
Processing applied to foreign language learning and teaching at the
Linguistics Center of the University of Lisbon (CLUL).   

The deadline for applications is February 28, 2022. For additional
information, including salary and application details, please visit:
https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/733640

The aim of the PhD project is to research, develop and evaluate a digital tool
supporting the acquisition of Portuguese as a Foreign or Heritage language.
The work can build on the existing ICALL approaches developed at the
University of Tübingen for English and German (http://icall-research.de). The
goal is  to support learners in selecting texts that support noticing of key
target structures and provide practice opportunities. The computational
linguistic analysis can build on recent findings about linguistic structures
that are acquired late by heritage speakers of Portuguese and include an
empirical validation in the context of the network maintained by the Camões
Institute across the globe.

The PhD project will be co-supervised by Professor Amália Mendes (University
of Lisbon), Professor Detmar Meurers (University of Tübingen), and Professor
Patrick Rebuschat (Lancaster University). The successful applicant will be
integrated in the Heritage Language Consortium (HL2C), a strategic partnership
between six European universities and the Camões Institute, a branch of the
Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Further details on the HL2C can be
found on our website: http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/heritage-language/
