Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia,
Vancouver, invites applications for a tenure-track position in
Computational Linguistics to begin July 1, 2024, with appointment at
the rank of Assistant Professor.

The UBC student population is diverse and we encourage applications
from individuals who reflect this diversity. We welcome applications
from members of groups that have been traditionally marginalized in
STEM and academia on grounds including, but not limited to: sex,
sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, racialization,
disability, political belief, religion, marital or family status, age,
and/or status as a First Nation, Métis, Inuit, or Indigenous person.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadian
citizens and permanent residents will be given priority. We will
ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable,
confidential accommodation to participate in the job application or
interview process. Please contact us to request accommodation.

Necessary Qualifications:

Candidates must:
 - have or be near completion of a Ph.D. in Linguistics, Computer
Science, or a closely related field.
 - demonstrate potential for high-quality research in Computational
Linguistics
 - show the ability to teach graduate and undergraduate courses,
primarily in Computational Linguistics, and focusing on data-driven
machine-learning methods using Python.

Desirable Qualifications:

While not necessary, we especially encourage applicants who can
demonstrate the following qualifications:
 - The ability to combine insights from Computational Linguistics /
Natural Language Processing with traditional areas of linguistic
enquiry.
 - Experience working with industry partners.

The Master of Data Science Program in Computational Linguistics:
The Master of Data Science in Computational Linguistics (MDS-CL)
(https://masterdatascience.ubc.ca/programs/computational-linguistics)
is a joint effort between the Department of Linguistics and the
Departments of Computer Science and Statistics, and is invested in
training Master’s students to become professional data scientists with
experience in linguistic analysis.  The successful candidate will join
a dedicated team of both research and educational leadership faculty
members in this professional program and is expected to teach courses
in the MDS-CL program, as well as in the Linguistics program.  As a
research-stream faculty member, the candidate will also be expected to
supervise students at both the Master’s and Ph.D. levels.

The Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia:
Our department covers a broad range of subfields in linguistics, and
approaches these from a variety of perspectives, with particular
strengths in formal-theoretical linguistics, experimental and field
linguistics, language acquisition, and computational approaches to the
study of communicative behaviour. The Department is engaged in the
study of the Indigenous languages of the Americas with a particular
focus on the First Nations languages of western Canada and has a long
history of work on African languages. See the Department website
(http://www.linguistics.ubc.ca) for further details. Candidates that
can bridge areas and make links with other units on campus are
especially welcome.

Applications must be submitted online by December 8, 2023. Please
