Temporary (1y) Assistant Professorship in Computational Linguistics, Utrecht (The Netherlands)

The Department of Languages, Literature and Communication of Utrecht University invites proven excellent candidates in the field of Computational Linguistics, and especially candidates who specialize in models connecting statistical NLP with formal language theories of syntax and semantics, to apply. The candidate will be expected to make a substantial contribution to both the computational linguistics research at the UiL OTS and to the AI teaching programme. Accordingly, proven expertise in both linguistic theories and in statistical NLP will be a strong advantage. A demonstrated interest in collaboration with industrial partners will be considered an advantage.

Your teaching obligations will be in the area of natural language processing, mathematical and computational linguistics, and language technology. Additional teaching areas, depending on your expertise, may include formal linguistics, artificial grammar learning, statistics, machine learning and data mining. You will primarily teach in the AI programme (Bachelor's and Master's), but also in the Bachelor's programme of Linguistics and the Research Master's Linguistics.
