PhD position CASCADE EU Horizon MSCA - Modeling context for the analysis of language variation and change
by Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb 23 Mar '24

23 Mar '24

Exciting EU Horizon Doctoral Network Opportunity! Network: HORIZON Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network on Computational Analysis of Semantic Change Across Different Environments (CASCADE) Job Title: PhD Candidate in Computational Linguistics/Digital Humanities/Computational Humanities/Data Science (AI/NLP) Project Title: Modeling context for the analysis of language variation and change Please share with interested students! Important: see eligibility requirements below!! Full official advert available here: https://www.uni-saarland.de/fileadmin/upload/verwaltung/stellen/Wissenschaft ler/W2439.pdf Workplace Computational Analysis of Semantic Change Across Different Environments (CASCADE) is a HORIZON Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Networks scheme which will bring together researchers from a variety of backgrounds, including literary studies, historical text analysis, semantics, corpus linguistics, machine learning and natural language processing. The project will emphasise the importance of computational linguistics and humanities scholarship as skills that bring value and competitive edge to organisations concerned with semantically aware information retrieval and text analytics. CASCADE is a partnership between University College Cork, the University of Sheffield, KU Leuven, the University of Helsinki, and Saarland University. Location This position is to be filled at Saarland University, seeking applications for a PhD project entitled Diachronic development of text types in the English Language, which will be one of ten funded projects to emerge out of CASCADE's doctoral network. The successful candidate will be appointed as Marie Curie Early Career Researchers at Saarland University, enrolled in a fully-funded three-year PhD programme. The successful candidate will be supervised by PD Dr. Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb. The position will be located within the Department of Language Science and Technology. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to collaborate with researchers affiliated with the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1102 on Information Density and Linguistic Encoding at Saarland University. CRC 1102 is a thriving research environment with over 30 PhD students and postdocs from many subfields of Linguistics, Computational Linguistics and Psycholinguistics. The Department of Language Science and Technology consists of about 100 research staff in nine research groups in the fields of Computational Linguistics, Psycholinguistics, Speech Processing, and Corpus Linguistics. It is part of Saarland Informatics Campus, which brings together computer science research at the university with world-class research institutions on campus. Project description The project Modeling context for the analysis of language variation and change will use computational approaches to mode linguistic and extra-linguistic context for the analysis of language variation and change. Context has a major impact on how we process language. However, the notion of context is very broad ranging from broadly conceived pragmatic conditions, i.e. the extra-linguistic context (e.g. socio-cultural factors, genres, time), to the relationship among linguistic elements that can substitute for each other in a given context, i.e. the paradigmatic context, up to the local linguistic context of linguistic elements, i.e. the syntagmatic context. While studies on language variation and change do encompass the notion of context, the coverage of contextual factors is often relatively limited. This project will apply and further develop computational modeling techniques to integrate contextual factors among the types of context described above to arrive at more comprehensive accounts of effects of contextual factors on language variation and change. Eligibility: This is important! The vacancy is open to applicants of all nationalities who comply with the mobility requirement and the degree requirement: * applicants must not have resided in the country of the CASCADE university that will host them (university of the main supervisor, Germany in this case) for more than 12 months in the 36 months preceding appointment * applicants must not hold a doctoral degree in any other field or have failed a corresponding doctoral examination at another higher education institution.

Postdoctoral Researcher, STEMMA: Systems of Transmitting Early Modern Manuscript Verse, 1475–1700
by heather froehlich 22 Mar '24

22 Mar '24

Dear all, With apologies for cross posting, please see the below job opportunity. I am posting this on behalf of Professor Erin McCarthy, please contact her ( erin.mccarthy(a)nuigalway.ie) with additional questions! *Postdoctoral Researcher, STEMMA: Systems of Transmitting Early Modern Manuscript Verse, 1475–1700* School of English, Media, and Creative Arts, University of Galway Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full-time, fixed-term position as a Postdoctoral Researcher for the project ‘STEMMA: Systems of Transmitting Early Modern Manuscript Verse, 1475–1700’, led by Professor Erin A. McCarthy <https://www.universityofgalway.ie/colleges-and-schools/arts-social-sciences…>, School of English and Creative Arts at the University of Galway, Ireland. The position is funded by a European Research Council Consolidator Grant awarded to Professor McCarthy. This position is funded by a European Research Council Consolidator Grant awarded to Professor McCarthy and is available for thirty-six months from 1 July 2024. *Project Description* This project develops and applies a data-driven approach in order to provide the first macro-level view of the circulation of early modern English poetry in manuscript. It focuses on English verse manuscripts written and used between the introduction of printing in England in 1475 and 1700, by which time the rapid changes in both literary taste and publishing norms ushered in by the Restoration had fully transformed literary culture. The project includes manuscripts circulating in England and anywhere else English was spoken and read, including Ireland, the North American colonies, and continental exile communities. It develops innovative computational models and quantitative methods for studying the social and material forces that informed literary culture. Whereas the current state of the art has seen the scholarly community address manuscripts primarily as case studies, STEMMA seeks to open new frontiers in manuscript research by facilitating the identification of patterns and trends at scale. To that end, the project begins by synthesizing six of the most comprehensive datasets about early modern English manuscripts in preparation for advanced literary, material, and quantitative analyses. This first work package sets the stage for four further, interlocking work packages, to which the doctoral and postdoctoral positions are allocated: networking early modern manuscript poems; early modern literary communities in the English-speaking world; rolling archetypes, computational text analysis, and scholarly editing; and textual circulation between manuscript and print. The research team will comprise the PI, three postdoctoral researchers, and one PhD student with expertise in literary history, textual studies, computational text analysis, and social network analysis. They will be based in the Moore Institute for Research in the Humanities and Social Studies, located in the Hardiman Research Building. *Job Description:*The successful candidate will focus on Work Package 4, ‘Rolling Archetypes, Computational Text Analysis, and Scholarly Editing’. This work package will test methods from textual editing and stylometry to assess their usefulness for identifying poets and/or scribes. The first several months of the contract will focus primarily on data preparation and reconciliation. The researcher will then identify one or more previously unidentified textual ‘clusters’ and prepare a full-text corpus.
