[CogSci] Job: Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics at Georgetown University (Washington DC)

[Nathan Schneider]

Tenure Track *Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics* at
Georgetown University (Washington DC)





The Department of Linguistics at Georgetown University in Washington, DC
invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in
Computational Linguistics, beginning in August, 2024.



We seek candidates with a commitment to excellence in research and teaching
in any area of Computational Linguistics or NLP. The candidate will be
expected to lead a vibrant research program, and teach and mentor students
at the undergraduate, master’s, and Ph.D. levels – including graduate
students within the computational linguistics concentration.



Of particular interest for this position are linguistically-grounded
computational approaches to *interaction* (broadly construed). This
includes (for example) research in spoken/signed language processing,
dialogue systems, LLMs, and language learning. Also highly valued is
research involving underrepresented groups and languages/varieties
(including low-resource NLP, as well as bias and ethics in language
technologies).



The new hire will join a computational linguistics concentration with
faculty who specialize in syntax, semantics, and discourse processing in
text. The Linguistics Department at Georgetown is committed to a diversity
of perspectives on language, and houses concentrations in computational
linguistics as well as theoretical, socio-, and applied linguistics.



A Ph.D. in Linguistics, Computer Science, or a related field is required.
Applicants must have the Ph.D. in hand by the time of the appointment.
