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.
