Candidates are free to choose the topic of their PhD projects as long as they are within the general interests of the faculty of the graduate program: - Anette Frank: statistical semantics, discourse, information extraction - Sebastian Padó: multilingual NLP, computational psycholinguistics - Stefan Riezler: statistical machine translation, machine learning - Michael Strube: discourse, generation, knowledge extraction The scholarship will be granted initially for two years with the possibility for a one year extension after successful evaluation. Candidates should have a strong background in computational linguistics and possess a Masters or a Diploma degree in either Computational Linguistics or Computer Science/Linguistics with a specialization in Natural Language Processing. Experience with machine learning, corpus-based methods and statistics is a plus. We expect strong programming skills (Java, C++, or Python). The graduate program 'Semantic Processing (http://semproc.cl.uni-heidelberg.de) is jointly organized by the Computational Linguistics Department at the University of Heidelberg (http://www.cl.uni-heidelberg.de) and the NLP Group at HITS gGmbH (http://www.h-its.org/nlp). Members of the graduate program participate in a PhD seminar series and may attend lectures at the university. The graduate program provides a lively research environment in a group of PhD students. We encourage interdisciplinary research activities with Computer Science, Linguistics, Psychology, Geography and other disciplines.
