Full time
The Associate Professor will be a member of the Department of Humanities within the Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences. With regard to linguistics, all linguistic levels are investigated, with a focus on language history, language variation and sociolinguistics. The department is already active in corpus linguistics, but the aspects of computational linguistics have yet to be strengthened with a dedicated position, in order to connect to the internationally tremendously increasing research activity in the computational analysis of language (e.g. Machine Learning, Neural Networks, AI).
The Associate Professor in computational linguistics will pursue an active research agenda in the studying language and linguistics from a computational perspective. The Associate Professor will participate in interdisciplinary projects in the Department of Humanities. With regards to the University’s research priority «Data Modelling and Simulation» the Associate Professor will contribute to the research domain «Modelling and digital humanities». Furthermore, a cooperation with the ILIAS lab of the Computer Science Department is foreseen.
The job holder will teach on Bachelor and Master and PhD level (among others in the various tracks in the Bachelor en cultures européennes and the Master en enseignement secondaire). Besides topic in computational linguistics the job holder will give classes in general linguistics.
