Date: 29-Oct-2024
From: Richard Wong [lxstaff at bu.edu]
Subject: Cognitive Science, Computational Linguistics, Discipline of Linguistics: Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics, Boston University


University or Organization: Boston University
Department: Linguistics
Job Location: Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Web Address: https://ling.bu.edu/
Job Title: Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics
Job Rank: Assistant Professor

Specialty Areas: Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics;
Discipline of Linguistics

Description:

The Department of Linguistics at Boston University seeks to hire an
Assistant Professor specializing in Computational Linguistics as part
of a cluster hiring initiative in AI led by the Faculty of Computing &
Data Sciences (CDS). The application will be handled centrally through
CDS, and we encourage candidates interested in the Department of
Linguistics to explicitly include the keyword “Linguistics” in their
primary research interests in their AJO application. We will give full
consideration to applications submitted by December 1, 2024, and will
continue the review on a rolling basis until April 15, 2025.

The candidate will hold a primary appointment in Linguistics, with a
secondary appointment in or affiliation with CDS. We expect the
candidate to conduct research and teach courses in Computational
Linguistics and related areas at all levels, and advise undergraduate
and graduate students. The candidate’s research must be at the
intersection of Linguistics and AI; this could include, but is not
limited to: studying how linguistic theory and experimental linguistic
methodology can productively inform the evaluation of new language
technologies, how domain knowledge about specific languages—especially
understudied languages—can help generalize the benefits of such
technologies in more equitable ways, or how the newly emerging
capacities of AI can expand the computational linguists’ modeling and
analysis toolkit, potentially leading to methodological innovations
and discoveries that were not possible before. We furthermore expect
the candidate to hold a secondary specialization in at least one
subfield of Linguistics. Requirements for this position include a PhD
in relevant disciplines (e.g., Linguistics, Cognitive Science,
Computer Science) in hand by the start date, plus demonstrated
excellence in teaching and research.

For questions, please contact the search chair (Paul Hagstrom,

how to apply, see the official advertisement from CDS below.
