PhD position: Language Modelling
=========================================================
(Computer Science, Computational Linguistics or similar)
This research project is concerned with the analysis and improvement of neural language models. It studies the adaptation of language models as well as how to use them for dynamically changing tasks and data distributions. We are looking for a PhD candidate that will work on developing language models with different memory capacities in order to explore “cognitively plausible” language models.
Ideal candidate for the position would have:
1. A good understanding of natural language processing
2. Excellent knowledge of machine learning
3. Excellent programming skills
4. Masters degree in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics or similar
Salary: The PhD position will be 75% of full time on the German E13 scale (TV-L) which is about 3055€ per month before tax and social security contributions. The appointments will be for three years with a possible extension.
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. It also runs a significant number of European and nationally funded projects. In total, it has seven faculty and around 50 postdoctoral researchers and PhD students. The department is part of the Saarland Informatics Campus. With 900 researchers, two Max Planck institutes and the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, it is one of the leading locations for Informatics in Germany and Europe.
How to apply: Please send us a letter of motivation, your CV, your transcripts, if available a list of publications, and the names and contact information of at least two references, as a single PDF or a link to a PDF if the file size is more than 3 MB.
Please apply latest by June 20th, 2022. Earlier applications are welcome and will be processed as they come in.
Contact: Applications and any further inquiries regarding the project should be directed to dietric...@lsv.uni-saarland.de and mmos...@lsv.uni-saarland.de
