Open PhD Position in Computational Linguistics /
Computational Psycholinguistics, IMS Stuttgart
(Posted: May 25, 2018; Deadline: June 15, 2018)

The Institute for Natural Language Processing (IMS) at University of
Stuttgart) has a opening for a PhD student in the context of a new
project on argumentation modeling [1], headed by Sebastian Pado [2] and
Roman Klinger [3] in close association with Kai Sassenberg [4] from
Leibniz Institut für Wissensmedien (IWM), Tübingen.

The successful candidate will investigate the interplay between
argumentative structure and emotional content in deliberative
discourse using methods from data mining and predictive modeling.
Part of the goal is to develop methods that automatically change the
emotional connotation of statements and arguments and to analyze how
this changes perception.

The candidate should have a Master's degree in computer science,
computational linguistics or similar with substantial knowledge of
natural language processing including neural network modeling and
strong programming and software engineering skills.  They require
excellent communication skills, a good knowledge of German, and
interest in interdisciplinary work. Prior experience with
argumentation analysis, emotion analysis, or computational
psycholinguistics will be considered a plus.

The candidate will be employed by IMS and will also be associated with
the graduate college "Cognitive Interfaces" [5]. The position is
available for three years, starting as soon as possible. The position
follows the German university payscale (TV-L 13) [6] and will be
between 65% and 100% depending on previous experience. To apply,
please send a full CV and letter of motivation together in a single
PDF document to Sebastian Pado, pado at ims.uni-stuttgart.de. To ensure
full consideration, please submit your application until June 14,
2018.

About Stuttgart and the University of Stuttgart:

The University of Stuttgart is a technically oriented university in
Germany. It is especially known for engineering and related topics,
with its computer science department being ranked highly nationally
and internationally. The Institute of Natural Language Processing
(Institut für Maschinelle Sprachverarbeitung, IMS), which forms part
of the Faculty of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, is one
of the largest academic research institutes for natural language
processing in Germany, with three full professors, an assistant
professor, three senior lecturers and a staff of more than thirty
researchers. Its activities range from computational corpus
linguistics to semantic processing, machine translation,
psycholinguistics, and phonetics, and hosts several projects funded by
the EC, the German science council (DFG), and various foundations. The
institute manages dedicated BSc and MSc programs in computational
linguistics.

The city of Stuttgart [7] is the capital of the state of
Baden-Württemberg in the south-west of Germany and known for its
strong economy, rich culture and its location across a variety of
hills, many covered in vineyards. It is a lively place with an active
bar and club scene. With Germany’s high-speed train system, it is
well-connected to many other interesting places, for instance Munich
and Cologne (~2 hours), Paris (~3.5 hours), Berlin (~5.5 hours),
Strasbourg (1 hour) or Lake Constance (2 hours).
