The two positions will be part of the new LEXICAL (Lexical Acquisition across
Languages) project, funded by the European Research Council (ERC) in the form of
a Consolidator Grant awarded to Anna Korhonen. The aim of the project is to
develop a novel computational framework for learning and transferring lexical
information across languages without the need for parallel resources. The
project will cover a variety of typologically diverse languages and language
domains and will demonstrate the usefulness for NLP applications such as machine
translation.

computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer
science, or a related discipline and will be able to demonstrate an excellent
track record of independent research and strong publications. Essential skills
include: excellent programming skills, statistical natural language processing
techniques, machine learning, as well as proven collaborative, communication and
networking skills. Previous experience with deep learning and/or joint learning
