The Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, Faculty of Humanities, University of Copenhagen (UCPH), Denmark, invites applications for a tenure-track assistant/associate professorship in computational cognitive modelling and natural language processing
to be filled by December 1st, 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Noto Sans", Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255) !important;" class="">
The successful candidate will be attached to the Centre for Language Technology (CST), which is one of the research centres of the department. CST conducts research in different areas of language technology, such as natural language processing (NLP), language
technology resources and the infrastructure around them, multimodal communication, computational cognitive modelling, and digital humanities. The Centre has a strong international profile, at the same time as pursuing the development of language technology
methods and resources for the Danish language. CST has considerable experience managing international research projects, frequently attracts visiting researchers and has organised major conferences in the field. Together with the Department of Computer Science
of the University of Copenhagen, it offers an international MSc programme in IT and Cognition. The programme, which currently admits about 30 students a year, consists of a range of courses in the areas of Natural Language Processing and Cognitive Science. </p>
