Full Professor of Cognitive Natural Language Processing and Communication
(salary level W2)

The Institute of Cognitive Science is seeking to appoint an 
internationally recognized researcher contributing to an enduring 
enhancement of its international collaborative network.

In research and education the successful applicant will represent the 
field of Cognitive Natural Language Processing and Communication in its 
breadth with an emphasis on computational models for language and 
multi-media data on different abstraction levels and on (neuro)cognitive 
inspired processing of language data. She/He is particularly expected to 
collaborate with more than one of the existing work groups that are 
closely related to the fields of processing visual data, machine 
learning, knowledge representation, and (neuro)cognitive aspects of 
language.
The successful candidate takes active part in teaching at all levels of 
the Cognitive Science study programs (BSc, MSc, PhD) and is, in 
particular, expected to offer interdisciplinary courses. All classes are 
taught in English.

Qualifications include a university degree (at the level of a Master or 
PhD) in computational linguistics or directly related areas, proven 
pedagogic and didactical skills acquired from practical experience, 
outstanding  ability of autonomously pursuing scientific work, usually 
proven by an excellent PhD thesis together with additional academic 
achievements according to section 25 (1) of the Lower Saxony Higher 
Education Act [NHG] (e.g. German-style habilitation, i.e. post-doctoral 
lecturing qualification).

In particular, it is expected that she/he has thorough knowledge as well 
as a coherent research program in the computational modeling of natural 
language.
International experience acquired from employments at universities and 
scientific institutions abroad as well as international collaborations 
are highly appreciated.
Candidates are expected to have an excellent command of both the English 
and German language.

The position is available on a full-time or part-time basis.

Osnabrück University has been certified as a family-friendly university 
committed to helping working/studying parents and carers balance their 
family and work life.
The university aspires to ensure that more women are appointed to 
professorial positions. Women’s applications are therefore particularly 
welcome.
If equally qualified candidates apply, preference will be given to those 
with special needs.

Applications with the usual documentation should be submitted by e-mail 
in a single PDF-file to Osnabrück University, Dean of School of Human 
Sciences, Prof. Dr. Thomas Staufenbiel, Seminarstraße 20, 49074
