The position was established in connection with the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 732 'Incremental specification in context'. Candidates should have a proven scientific record in the area of Computational Linguistics, show potential for the acquisition of external project funding, and be open for interdisciplinary collaborations with Theoretical Linguistics as part of SFB 732. In terms of teaching, the successful candidate will contribute to the Institute's course offerings in Computational Linguistics, partially in English. He or she should have profound knowledge in Computational Linguistics (covering at least two of the levels of Phonetics/Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Semantics and Knowledge Representation), and be familiar with several distinct methodological approaches in Natural Language Processing. In the research profile, a convincing positioning towards at least one of the focus areas of current theoretical and applied research in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing is expected. A special interest in the interface between Speech and Language Processing ('Spoken Language Processing') is desirable. Appointments are subject to the terms and conditions of § 51 Landeshochschulgesetz Baden-Württemberg (State law on universities in the state of Baden-Württemberg) for 'Juniorprofessor' positions. Applications should preferably be in electronic form and include the usual documents (vita; copies of certificates; list of publications, taught courses and past grant acquisition; statement of research interests) and three relevant publications. The University of Stuttgart wishes to increase the proportion of women in science and is therefore particularly interested in applications from women. Severely challenged people will be given preference if equally qualified. The University of Stuttgart has a Dual Career program to support the appointed person's spouse.
