Connectionists: Three fully-funded PhD positions (NLP/CL) in Copenhagen, Denmark (AAU)

[Johannes Bjerva]

Three (3) fully funded PhD positions in NLP / Computational Linguistics are available at the Copenhagen campus of the Department of Computer Science, Aalborg University (AAU). The positions are funded by the Carlsberg Foundation, and are broadly speaking on the topic of Low-Resource Multilingual NLP [1]. We are interested in candidates with profiles ranging from (i) a linguistic focus (ideally with experience in computational linguistics) to (ii) a technical focus, including NLP, machine learning, or artificial intelligence more broadly. There is a substantial amount of freedom in terms of research direction, and the conditions offered when doing a PhD in Denmark are hard to beat. Interested applicants are encouraged to reach out to me at jbjerva at cs.aau.dk<mailto:jbjerva at cs.aau.dk>.

* Application deadline: 15 April.
* Interviews likely in early May.
* Starting date: 1 September.
* Applicants should expect to finish their Master's degrees by the summer.
* Salary is state-mandated and ranges from 26k-32k DKK + pension and supplements per month. [2] The ratio of salary/cost-of-living is one of the best in the world.
* Quality of life in Copenhagen is high, and getting around by bike is both safe and easy - the AAU campus in Copenhagen is located by the waterfront, close to the city, and easily accessible both by bike and public transport.
