The successful candidate must have demonstrable experience in machine learning for natural language processing and with (object-oriented) programming (e.g. Java, Python, C++, Perl). Good communication skills in English are required.
The following academic qualification is necessary: an M.Sc. in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, or a related field.
The funding of this position is available until June 30, 2017.
Applications should include CV, an outline of research experience, as well as names and addresses of two referees, and should be sent by mail or by email to the address below.
