Dear colleagues,
We are hiring a second postdoc! Do you have a lot of drive and are
interested in getting engaged in a vibrant, new research field with the
chance to work with some of the best in the field?
We are announcing one or more 2-year postdoc positions in identification
and analysis of lexical semantic change using computational models
applied to diachronic texts. Application deadline November 15!
Our languages change over time. As a consequence, words may look the
same, but have different meanings at different points in time, a
phenomenon called lexical semantic change (LSC). To facilitate
interpretation, search, and analysis of old texts, we build
computational methods for automatic detection and characterization of
LSC from large amounts of text. Our outputs will be used by the
lexicographic R&D unit that compiles the Swedish Academy dictionaries,
as well as by researchers from the humanities and social sciences that
include textual analysis as a central methodological component.
We are looking for a researcher with a phd in a relevant area (for
example, language technology/natural language processing, computer
science, complex systems, mathematics, linguistics with experience in
computational methods, or informational sciences).
The Change is Key! program and the Towards Computational Lexical
Semantic Change Detection research project offer a vibrant research
environment for this exciting and rapidly growing cutting-edge research
field in NLP. There is a unique opportunity to contribute to the field
of LSC, but also to humanities and social sciences through our active
collaboration with international researchers in historical linguistics,
analytical sociology, gender studies, conceptual history, and literary
studies.
Come join us!
