Description:

The Department of Psychology at Stockholm University invites applications for
a postdoctoral fellow in computational linguistics / cognitive science. The
position involves a full-time employment for a maximum of two years, starting
on November 1 2022, or as per agreement. The applicant will work in a research
project that investigates crosslinguistic differences and similarities of
smell vocabularies. In the project, smell vocabularies of diverse languages
are mapped partly with the help of data-driven machine learning methods based
on natural texts (i.e. text corpora), and partly based on more traditional
lexical-typological, linguistic methods based on native speaker elicitations.

Main responsibilities: 
 - analysis of text corpora using NLP methods, word embedding modeling,
machine learning and similar methods
 - quantitative data analysis and visualisation
 - writing of scientific articles
 - possibly also experimental data collection

Required qualifications: 
 - PhD in linguistics, cognitive science or similar, completed no more than
three years before the application closing date 
 - high-level skills in Python programming
 - documented experience in working with text corpora and various NLP methods
and word space modeling (e.g., Word2Vec, BERT, GPT2)
 - documented experience of independent scientific work resulting in one or
several publications in scientific journals or conference proceedings

Desired qualifications: 
 - documented experience of machine learning and other statistical methods
such as regression analysis, PCA, hierarchical clustering, or neural networks
 - documented experience of text data processing and pre-processing,
compilation of data from different sources, data visualisation
 - documented experience of experimental or survey data collection
 - good collaboration skills, be innovative, solution-oriented and able to
work independently
 - basic knowledge of linguistics and cognitive psychology

Please apply via the link below. Applications should include: 
 - contact details 
 - highest degree
 - cover letter
 - CV – degrees and completed courses, work experience and a list of
publications
 - Research proposal (maximum 3 pages) describing why you are interested in
the project, how you will contribute, and why you are suitable for the project
 - copy of PhD diploma
 - letters of recommendation (maximum 3 files)
 - publications in support of application (maximum 3 files)
 - language skills
 - contact details to 2-3 references



Application Deadline: 07-Oct-2022
