[Verena Henrich]

The Collaborative Research Center 'Constitution of Meaning' (SFB 833; 
http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/en/research/core-research/collaborative-research-centers/sfb-833.html) 
at the University of Tuebingen, Germany, has an opening in a research 
project in Computational Linguistics for a computational linguist or for 
a lexical semanticist. The project focuses on the semantic 
interpretation of nominal compounds in English and German (Principal 
Investigator: Erhard Hinrichs; www.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/~eh).

The opening is either for a post-doctoral researcher (funded on a 
fulltime position at the TV-L 13 German payscale) or for a PhD student 
(funded at 65-100% of a full-time position at the TV-L 13 German 
payscale, depending on the applicant’s qualifications).

Applicants in Computational Linguistics or Computer Science must have 
demonstrable experience in machine learning for natural language 
processing and with (object-oriented) programming (e.g. Java, Python, 
C++, R). Good communication skills in English are required.

Applicants with a specialization in lexical semantics must have 
demonstrable experience in the semantics of multi-word expressions and 
in computational corpus linguistics, as well as near-native competence 
in English. Programming experience is a plus.

The following academic qualification is necessary: completion of a PhD 
(for post-doctoral applicants) or completion of an M.A./M.Sc. (for PhD 
student applicants) in Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, Computer 
Science or a related field.

The funding of this position is available until June 30, 2017, with a 
possibility of renewal contingent on a successful project review.

Applications should include a CV, an outline of research experience, as 
well as names and addresses of two referees, and should be sent by mail 
or by email to the address below.

Applications received by February 27th, 2015 will receive full 
consideration, although interviews may start at any time and will 
continue until the position has been filled.

The University of Tuebingen promotes gender equality and in particular 
encourages women to apply. Preference will be given to physically 
handicapped persons if they are equally qualified.


Application Deadline: Open until filled.
