**Deadline fast-approaching**

Dear colleagues and friends,

The Data Science and Digital Libraries https://www.tib.eu/en/research-development/research-groups-and-labs/data-science-digital-libraries at the TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology and University Library https://www.tib.eu/en/ invites applications for a Research Associate/PhD Candidate with the following specializations: Natural Language Processing; Computational Linguistics; Corpus Annotation.

*Description: *

The PhD topics will be in the context of the Open Research Knowledge Graph ( https://www.orkg.org) and the project “SCINEXT - Neural-Symbolic Scholarly Innovation Extraction”, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The aim of these projects is to research and develop techniques for crowdsourcing, representing and managing semantically structured, rich representations of scholarly contributions and research data in knowledge graphs and thus develop a novel model for scholarly communication. In the context of the PhD thesis you will be responsible for conducting independent and original scientific research involving corpus development and annotation in organizing research contributions in the ORKG in a structured, semantic way, so other researchers can get a quick overview on the state-of-the-art in the field. You will participate in local, national and international collaboration activities. Given the multidisciplinary nature of the programme, we encourage applicants with a strong curiosity and interest in Science to apply.

The tasks will focus on

- Collaborating with researchers from different disciplines to gain familiarity with research problems and their contribution descriptions expressed in scholarly literature. - Conceptually designing, modelling and implementing ontology-based knowledge representations for crowdsourcing of the Open Research Knowledge Graph. - Annotation and curation of multidisciplinary scholarly contribution descriptions.

*Application Deadline:** June 28th 2022*
