Job Location: Munich, Germany
Job Title: Full Professorship (W3) of Phonetics and Speech Processing
(Chair)
Job Rank: Full Professor

Specialty Areas: Phonetics

Description:
As one of Europe’s leading research universities,
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich is committed to the
highest international standards of excellence in research and
teaching. Building on its more than 500-year-long tradition, it offers
a broad spectrum that covers all areas of knowledge within its 18
Faculties, ranging from the humanities, law, economics and social
sciences, to medicine and the natural sciences.
The Faculty of Languages and Literatures invites applications for a
Full Professorship (W3)
of Phonetics and Speech Processing
(Chair)
commencing on 1 April 2028.
The chair is expected to represent the full breadth of the discipline
in both research and teaching. We are looking for candidates with
outstanding, internationally oriented academic qualifications who have
an excellent track record in the following areas:
 - Experimental phonetics, in particular speech production and
perception
 - Combination of basic research and language technology
 - Cognition and human speech processing
The professorship will also supervise and develop the Bavarian Archive
for Speech Signals (BAS), including the BAS Web Services and
industrial connections, as well as supervise and further develop the
existing Bachelor’s and Master’s programs in phonetics.
Close cooperation with the existing AI Chair of Spoken Language
Processing at the Institute is anticipated. The willingness to engage
in interdisciplinary cooperation within the faculty and university by
participating in the development of the Munich Center for Linguistics,
the faculty’s doctoral program of the Class of Language and the Center
for Information and Language Processing (CIS) is also expected.
The Institute for Phonetics and Speech Processing ranks among the
world's leading centers for research into spoken language. It features
a range of well-equipped laboratory facilities designed to support
experimental research across all areas of spoken language, providing
high-quality, applied training as well as the opportunity to undertake
advanced research projects.
Prerequisites for this position are a university degree, a doctoral
degree or a comparable specific qualification, teaching skills at
university level, excellent academic achievements and a productive and
promising research program.
LMU Munich makes a point of providing newly appointed professors with
various types of support, such as welcoming services and assistance
for dual career couples.
LMU Munich is an equal opportunity employer. The University continues
to be very successful in increasing the number of female faculty
members and strongly encourages applications from female candidates.
LMU Munich intends to enhance the diversity of its faculty members.
Furthermore, disabled candidates with essentially equal qualifications
will be given preference.
