Linguistics / Natural Language Processing, full-time, at the assistant
professor level. This position is part of an interdisciplinary
initiative in Computational Linguistics and Speech Signal Processing
at UIUC, with participation from Linguistics, ECE, and Computer
Science. The new hire is expected to contribute to the development of
the program in both its research and its educational missions, and
will be part of an interdisciplinary team of faculty members working
in the areas of speech signal processing, linguistic modeling, and
computational models of language and learning. The new hire will also
have the opportunity to interact with faculty and researchers in
interdisciplinary programs such as Cognitive Science, Artificial
Intelligence, and Human-Computer Interaction, in the state-of-the-art
research facility at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and
Technology on the UIUC campus.
