University or Organization: University of Konstanz 
Department: Linguistics
Job Location: Baden-Württemberg, Germany 
Web Address: https://www.ling.uni-konstanz.de
Job Title: Open-rank position available in Computational Linguistics (TVL-13 salary scale)
Job Rank: Lecturer/PostDoc/PhD; Rank Open

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; Linguistic Theories; Knowledge of Python


Description:

The Computational Linguistics group at the University of Konstanz has open
positions. At the postdoctoral level, we have need of teaching as as well as
research. Teaching and research could be combined into one postdoctoral
position (50% research, 50% teaching) for two years.  At the doctoral level we
can alternatively offer a 3-year 65% doctoral research position.

Our current research projects encompass work on framing, argumentation and the
automatic detection of non-canonical questions.  We are looking for people
interested in combining symbolic with machine learning approaches. We are also
particularly looking for researchers with knowledge of Spanish for a project
on
"Mobilising Inequalities". The project is part of the Excellence Cluster "The
Politics of Inequality (https://www.exc.uni-konstanz.de/en/inequality/).
Overall our work involves the identification, analysis and automatic
extraction of linguistic cues for NLP applications that support research into
how arguments and issues are framed. The non-canonical questions work is part
of the FOR 2111 "Questions at the Interfaces"
(https://typo.uni-konstanz.de/questionsInterfaces/), argumentation as part of
the SPP RATIO
(http://ratio.sc.cit-ec.uni-bielefeld.de/projects-phase-2/cuepaq/).

Our staff works closely with researchers from Political Science and Visual
Analytics, providing interesting and fruitful scope for interdisciplinary and
collaborative work.

On the teaching side, our popular MA "Speech and Language Processing" requires
teaching in the following areas: Machine-Language Processing (overview course)
Finite-State Morphology, Corpus Linguistics with Python, Deep Learning with
Python, Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG), Grammar Development (LFG),
Computational Semantics.  Pre-set syllabi and material exist for all of these
courses.  A 100% teaching position comes with 8 hours of teaching (equivalent
to about 3-4 courses a semester).

Positions are available as of April 1, 2022.

Requirements:
Postdoctoral applicants should have a PhD degree (or equivalent) and
applicants at the doctoral level should have an MA degree. Both should be in
the areas of computational linguistics or linguistics. The applicants should
be well versed in linguistic analysis and possess programming skills.
Knowledge of Python is particularly relevant.

The University of Konstanz encourages disabled persons to apply. They will be
given preference if appropriately qualified (contact +497531/88–4016 und
88-2834).

The University of Konstanz is an equal opportunity employer that tries to
increase the number of women in research and teaching.

The University of Konstanz has been certified as a family-friendly institution
by the Hertie Foundation and is committed to further the compatibility of work
and family life.

The University of Konstanz offers a „Dual Career Couples Program“. Information

Applicants should send a cover letter, a full CV and one sample publication or
paper to the application email below. The deadline for applications is March
31, 2022 or until the position is filled.



Application Deadline: 31-Mar-2022 (Open until filled)
