PhD position: Language Modeling
=====================
(Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, Physics, Mathematics or
similar)
The research group is focusing on getting a deeper understanding of how
language models work and how they can be applied. Our recent
achievements include a best paper award at COLING 2022 and a best theme
paper award at ACL 2023.
Possible more specific topics could be:
* Language modeling for Speech Recognition
* Language models for Chemicals and Proteins
* Deep learning for highly non-linear Dynamical Systems
We expect the successful candidate to make herself/himself familiar with
the group for about half a year before a final decision will be made
which specific topic to pursue.
The ideal candidate for the position would have:
1. Excellent knowledge of LLMs, machine learning and deep learning
2. Excellent programming skills
3. Masters degree in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics,
Physics, Mathematics or similar
4. Successful experiences working both independently and as part of a
small team
Salary: The PhD position will be 75% of full time on the German E13
scale (TV-L) which is about 3144€ per month before tax and social
security contributions. The appointments will be for three years with a
possible extension at 50% for a fourth year.
About the department: The department of Language Science and Technology
is one of the leading departments in the speech and language area in
Europe. The flagship project at the moment is the CRC on Information
Density and Linguistic Encoding. It also runs a significant number of
European and nationally funded projects. In total, it has seven faculty
and around 50 postdoctoral researchers and PhD students. The department
is part of the Saarland Informatics Campus. With 900 researchers, two
Max Planck institutes and the German Research Center for Artificial
Intelligence, it is one of the leading locations for Informatics in
Germany and Europe.
How to apply: Please send us a letter of motivation, your CV, your
transcripts, if available a list of publications, and the names and
contact information of at least two references, as a single PDF or a
link to a PDF if the file size is more than 5 MB.
Please apply latest by August 18th, 2024.
