JOB DESCRIPTION 1 --- Assistant Professor in Computational Linguistics
The Department of Languages, Literature and Communication of Utrecht University
invites applications from excellent candidates for a full-time appointment as
Assistant Professor in Computational Linguistics/Natural Language Processing.
The position starts August 1, 2018 and will be in the Linguistics section of
the Department. The successful candidate will be affiliated as researcher with
the Utrecht Institute of Linguistics UiL OTS, with most of the teaching done as
part of the Artificial Intelligence programme (AI).
We are looking for candidates working in the field of Computational
Linguistics, especially for candidates who specialize in models connecting
statistical NLP with formal language theories of syntax and semantics. The
candidate will be expected to make a substantial contribution to the AI
teaching programme and to the computational linguistics research at the UiL
OTS. 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 also be considered as 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 and master), but also in the
Bachelor programme of Linguistics and the Research Master Linguistics.
In due course you will be expected to fulfill some coordinating duties within
the AI and Linguistics programmes and occasionally in the Department. Your
research will be part of the Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS. For an
Assistant Professor the standard teaching-research time division is 70%
teaching and 30% research.
Qualifications
- experience in teaching at the Bachelor and Master levels;
- extensive research experience in Computational Linguistics/Natural Language
Processing, proven by a - finished PhD and publications at an internationally
recognized level;
- specialisation in statistical computational models that make use of formal
language theories, or are used in psycholinguistic modelling;
- experience with successful applications for external funding is recommended;
- experience in a coordinating position is recommended;
- good communication skills;
- fluency in English;
- University Teaching Qualification (Dutch Basiskwalificatie Onderwijs, BKO).
Candidates lacking this qualification should be prepared to follow the BKO
programme available within the Faculty.
- Non-Dutch candidates are required to attain fluency in Dutch within two years
of appointment.
Offer
We offer a temporary position (1.0 FTE) for two years. The position is
tenure-track, meaning that, subject to a positive performance evaluation, the
position will become permanent after two years.

JOB DESCRIPTION 2 --- Lecturer in Computational Linguistics (0.7 FTE)
The Department of Languages, Literature and Communication of Utrecht University
invites applications from lecturers in Computational Linguistics/Natural
Language Processing. We offer a 0.7 FTE position for one year which may be
extended for one year conditional on positive evaluation. The position starts
August 1, 2018, and will be in the Linguistics section of the Department, with
all teaching done as part of the Artificial Intelligence teaching programme.
We are looking for excellent candidates working in the field of Computational
Linguistics, especially for candidates who specialize in models connecting
statistical NLP with formal language theories (computational linguistics,
formal syntax and semantics, computational phonology, mathematical linguistics,
computational lexicons, computational psycholinguistics). Accordingly, proven
expertise in both linguistic theories and in statistical NLP will be a strong
advantage. The candidate will be expected to have teaching experience in one or
more of the above mentioned domains.
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.
Qualifications
- teaching experience in areas relevant to Computational Linguistics/Natural
Language Processing;
- a finished PhD and publications at an internationally recognised level;
specialization in statistical computational models that make use of formal
language theories, or are used in psycholinguistic modelling;
- experience in teaching at the Bachelor and Master levels;
- good communication skills;
- University Teaching Qualification (Dutch Basiskwalificatie Onderwijs, BKO) or
equivalent. Candidates lacking this qualification will be expected to follow
the BKO programme available within the Faculty.
