University or Organization: Rochester Institute of Technology
Department: Departments of Psychology and Modern Languages and

Job Title: Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics

Description:

The Department of Psychology and Department of Modern Languages and
Cultures at the Rochester Institute of Technology jointly invite
applications for a full-time, 9-month tenure-track Assistant Professor
of Computational Linguistics, beginning in August 2025. Candidates are
expected to have an earned doctoral degree (in hand by August 2025) in
Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, or a related field.

Successful candidates should demonstrate computational expertise,
strong research talent, and initiative in grant writing. Candidates
should also have a plan for excellence in teaching and student
mentoring at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applicants must be
able to teach our courses in language technology, natural language
processing, and/or speech processing. In addition, applicants should
be able to teach foundational linguistics from a cross-linguistic
perspective, as well as courses in one or more linguistics or
cognitive science subfields. Proficiency in a language other than
English is preferred, and we welcome research or teaching experience
involving language learning. The position requires a strong commitment
to teaching and mentoring, active research and publication, and a
strong potential to attract external funding. Research and teaching
are priorities for faculty at RIT, and all faculty are expected to
mentor students through advising, research, and in-class experiences.

The computational linguistics-related programs at RIT serve a rapidly
expanding student population at a technical university. We are
particularly looking for a faculty colleague who can also contribute
to the interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Cognitive Science and the
M.S. in Artificial Intelligence. In addition, RIT provides many
opportunities for collaborative research across the institute in areas
such as linguistics of sign languages and languages other than
English, artificial intelligence, human-centered computing, and
cybersecurity. RIT faculty have access to extensive research computing
resources.

We are seeking an individual who has the ability and interest in
contributing to a community committed to student centeredness;
professional development and scholarship; integrity and ethics;
respect, diversity and pluralism; innovation and flexibility; and
teamwork and collaboration. See RIT’s core values, honor code, and
diversity commitment on the university website.
