[CogSci] Assistant Professor of Linguistics at Boston University (Computational Linguistics, AI cluster hiring at the Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences)

[Najoung Kim]

The Department of Linguistics at Boston University seeks to hire an
Assistant Professor specializing in Computational Linguistics as part of a
cluster hiring initiative in AI led by the Faculty of Computing & Data
Sciences (CDS). The application will be handled centrally through CDS, and *we
encourage candidates interested in the Department of Linguistics to
explicitly include the keyword "Linguistics" in their primary research
interests in their AJO application*. We will give full consideration to
applications submitted by December 1, 2024, and will continue the review on
a rolling basis until April 15, 2025.

The candidate will hold a primary appointment in Linguistics, with a
secondary appointment in or affiliation with CDS. We expect the candidate
to conduct research and teach courses in Computational Linguistics and
related areas at all levels, and advise undergraduate and graduate
students. The candidate's research must be at the intersection of
Linguistics and AI; this could include, but is not limited to: studying how
linguistic theory and experimental linguistic methodology can productively
inform the evaluation of new language technologies, how domain knowledge
about specific languages---especially understudied languages---can help
generalize the benefits of such technologies in more equitable ways, or how
the newly emerging capacities of AI can expand the computational linguists'
modeling and analysis toolkit, potentially leading to methodological
innovations and discoveries that were not possible before. We furthermore
expect the candidate to hold a secondary specialization in at least one
subfield of Linguistics. Requirements for this position include a PhD in
relevant disciplines (e.g., Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Computer
Science) in hand by the start date, plus demonstrated excellence in
teaching and research.

For questions, please contact the search chair (Paul Hagstrom,
hagstrom at bu.edu). For details on the cluster hiring initiative, and on how
to apply, see the official advertisement from CDS below.
