From:  Scharenborg [o.e.scharenborg at tudelft.nl]
Subject: Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics: Assistant Professor in Natural Language Processing, Technische Universiteit Delft (TU Delft), Delft, Netherlands

University or Organization: Technische Universiteit Delft (TU Delft) 
Job Location: Delft, Netherlands 
Job Title: Assistant Professor in Natural Language Processing
Job Rank: Assistant Professor

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics 

Description:

The new colleague will be expected to have their own research lines that can
be well embedded into the larger research landscape of our current computer
science research areas, where you are expected to join our current forces to
together develop both the discipline and usable systems for human interaction
with natural language.

Department of Intelligent Systems (INSY)
The assistant professor will be working within the INSY department. The INSY
department aims to enable man and machine to deal with the increasing volume
and complexity of data, in close cooperation with their environment. The
department integrates fundamental research, engineering, and design in the
interlocking fields of data processing, interpretation, visualization and
interaction using model- and knowledge-based methods and algorithms. INSY
consists of five research groups (more details can be found here). The new
colleague will be working within the Multimedia Computing Group, but
collaborations with other groups are envisaged and encouraged.

At INSY we are looking for an assistant professor who can strengthen our team
particularly on the topics of
 - NLP for natural language understanding
 - NLP for natural language generation
or related areas, for spoken and written conversational AI.

Department of Software Technology (ST)
The assistant professor will be located within the ST department (more details
can be found here), the Web Information Systems group. You are expected to
have a primary research focus on natural language processing for written text,
generated in social and scientific contexts such as social media posts, blogs,
threads in online fora, news articles, wiki articles, scientific papers and
reports.

Research of the ST department contributes both to the foundations of software
and computer systems, and to the understanding of the operation of such
systems. Its research approach is both fundamental - designing algorithms and
abstractions, developing new concepts and theories, and identifying
principles, as well as experimental - engineering and analysing the behaviour
of actual systems. 

We are looking for, but not exclusively, a candidate with research profiles
relevant to the roles of knowledge and humans in natural language processing.
In particular, we are interested in a candidate who can strengthen our team
and research on the following topics: 
 - NLP for knowledge extraction and knowledge graph construction
 - NLP enhanced by human computation and interaction
 - NLP for information retrieval in Web and conversational search.

Application procedure: 
For more information about this vacancy, please contact Dr. Scharenborg at the
email address below for more information about INSY and Prof. Houben
(g.j.p.m.houben at tudelft.nl) for more information about ST. 

Application deadline: August 12, 2022. Formal interviews will be scheduled in
the first half of September.

See the web address below for the full job description and to apply.

(https://www.tudelft.nl/en/about-tu-delft/working-at-tu-delft/coming-to-the-ne
therlands-tu-delft/) and Partner Career Advice to assist you with your
relocation. An International Children's Centre offers childcare and there is
an international primary school.
