At the Institute of Computer Science (Prof. Dr. Alexander Mehler, TTLab,
https://www.texttechnologylab.org/), Department of Computer Science and
Mathematics at Goethe University Frankfurt, a PhD position for a
*Research Assistant (m/f/d)
(E 13 TV-G-U) *
is available at the next possible date for a period of three years
within the project Semiautomated Thematic Text Classification as a Basis
for Corpus Linguistic Value-Added Services. The project is funded by the
German Research Foundation (DFG). The salary group classification is
based on the job characteristics determined by the collective labour
agreement in effect for the Goethe University (TV-G-U).
The aim of the project is to develop a deep learning-based topic
classification system using the Wikipedia category system and data from
the Wikidata project, and to develop and test topic models based on this
classification system for the automatic classification of texts,
including those from the Leibniz Institute for the German Language (IDS)
in Mannheim. The project will be carried out in cooperation with the IDS
and the Saxon Academy of Sciences in Leipzig. The research will focus on
state-of-the-art AI methods, in particular generative AI methods.
The applicant is expected to engage in the project and actively
participate in courses, workshops, and events of the project. We are
looking for a highly qualified individual with a strong interest in
research methods in the fields of AI and topic modeling as well as in
the team-oriented development and application of innovative,
research-oriented methods in the field of text modeling. With the
Text-Technology Lab, in which the position will be embedded, we offer a
research-oriented, internationally focused working environment in the
fields of computational humanities, multimodal computing, machine
learning and artificial intelligence. This includes funding for
conference attendance and individual career development.
Requirements:
• Completed academic degree (Master's or equivalent) in computer
science, computational humanities, computational linguistics or a field
related to text modelling and AI.
• Experience in the development and testing of NLP or AI methods.
• Extensive programming knowledge in Java, Python or similar.
• An interest in issues relating to information science is desirable
but not essential.
Please send your application with the usual documents (cover letter, CV,
copies of certificates) electronically in a summarized PDF document by
20.09.2024 to Prof. Dr. Alexander Mehler: [email protected].
