The teaching duties will be concentrated on
language processing and statistics. The
successful candidate will also be expected to
contribute to research, including grant
proposals, and will be asked to assume a share of
organizational tasks, e.g. recruitment,
communication or software/hardware support.

Requirements:

A Ph.D. degree in (Computational) Linguistics or
a related field such as Linguistics, Computer
Science, or Artificial Intelligence.
Proven research ability documented by publications.
Proven interest and success in computational and
statistical studies is a must.
Ability to work independently and interest in interdisciplinary research.
Willingness to learn Dutch and to locate in Groningen.

The salary for a lecturer ranges form a initial €
3129 tot a maximum of € 4284,- (Salary scale 11)
for the full-time position. Commencement of
