We anticipate the availability of new positions in upcoming
projects. Different topics are available:
* Vision and Language: the goal of this project is to show the
benefits of world knowledge and in particular visual information in
language processing.
* Speech Recognition: in this project, the focus will be on
interpretability and explainability.
* Information extraction: basic methods for low resource scenarios,
noisy labels, transfer and multitask learning.
Requirements: The successful candidate should have a Ph.D./Master's
in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, Physics, Mathematics
or a related discipline. Strong programming skills are essential. A
good command of English is mandatory. Working knowledge of German is
desirable but not a prerequisite. Candidates for the Post Doc
position must have completed their Ph.D. by the time of the
appointment.
Salaries: The PhD position will be 75% of full time on the German

time on the German E13 scale (TV-L). The appointments will be for
two to three years with possible extensions subject to follow-up
funding.
About the department: The department of Language Science and
Technology is one of the leading departments in the speech and
language area in Europe. The flagship project at the moment is the
CRC on Information Density and Linguistic Encoding. The department
also runs a significant number of European and nationally funded
projects. In total it has seven faculty and around 80 postdoctoral
researchers and PhD students.
