Just a reminder of an upcoming application deadline. O:-)
The Natural Language Understanding Lab at UTN in Nuremberg [1], Germany, invites applications for a full-time postdoctoral research position (A13/E13 on the German TV-L scale). The position is based in the Department Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence and will be available from 1 July 2026 for an initial period of three years.
The position is part of an award-winning research group focusing on implicit and underspecified language, background knowledge in language understanding as well as biases in data, tasks and models. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to develop their own research agenda, support ongoing research and teaching in the group, and collaborate with other groups at the university, including colleagues from the Department Liberal Arts & Social Sciences.
Applicants should have a completed PhD in Natural Language Processing or Computational Linguistics as well as a track record of publications in *ACL venues, with a particular interest in semantics and/or pragmatics. They should be able to work in a team and communicate in English (German proficiency is not required).
Applications should include a motivation letter outlining a proposed research agenda, a CV, a list of publications, and contact information for one or two references. Please submit all materials _as a single PDF file_ to nlu@utn.de. Applications received by 15 May 2026 will receive full consideration, but the position will remain open until filled.
Candidates who identify as female, trans* and/or non-binary are particularly encouraged to apply. Feel free to contact michael.roth@utn.de for any questions regarding the group or position!
