Job: Assistant Professor in Speech Technology, University of Groningen

[Bisazza, A.]

We are looking for an Assistant Professor in Speech and/or Speech Technology at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. 

This position combines research on speech and/or speech technology and teaching. Teaching responsibilities will include, for example, general programming courses and thesis supervisions. 

Your research will be embedded in the Computational Linguistics research group of the Center for Language and Cognition Groningen (CLCG, https://www.rug.nl/let/clcg), in particular in the Speech Lab Groningen (SLG, https://www.speechlabgroningen.nl). The SLG has state-of-the-art (computational) equipment available for use, including a dual-A100 Nvidia GPU server, and the one-of-a-kind mobile laboratory SPRAAKLAB (http://www.rug.nl/let/spraaklab) to collect acoustic and articulatory data in the field. Furthermore, within the CLCG there are ample opportunities for interdisciplinary collaborations. To fund your own innovative research line, you are expected to acquire external research funding. 

Successful applicants are expected to have a PhD in the field of (Computational) Linguistics, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science or a comparable field with a focus on the investigation and analysis of speech (articulation) and/or speech technology. A strong quantitative / computational background and a solid track record on speech and/or speech technology is required. It is considered a plus if research experience regarding speech and/or speech technology dovetails with the research currently conducted in the Speech Lab Groningen. In that case, candidates can co-supervise SLG PhD students.
