Job description
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.
Your research will be part of the Utrecht institute of Linguistics OTS, in
relation to the focus area Human-Centered AI. Qualifications
We require:
* extensive research experience in computational linguistics/natural language processing, as demonstrated by a finished PhD and publications at an internationally recognised level;
* specialisation in statistical computational models that make use of formal language theories;
* experience in teaching at Bachelor's and Master's level;
* experience with successful applications for external funding is recommended;
* good communication skills;
* fluency in English;
* non-Dutch candidates are required to master Dutch at the CEFR - B2 level for reading and listening within two years of appointment. Fluency in Dutch will be a positive factor in facilitating teaching and interacting with (Bachelor's) students;

We offer a position (1.0 FTE) for a period of one year. In case of a good
performance, extending the employment is one of the possibilities. The
gross salary - depending on previous qualifications and experience -
