Applicants should possess a strong academic background with a relevant PhD degree or equivalent qualifications in Computational Linguistics, Cognitive Sciences, Learning Sciences, Computer Science, or a related field. The ideal candidate will have the following qualifications:

  • A promising record of research in Applied Natural Language Processing, as evidenced by publications in reputed international journals and conferences.
  • A clear and well-developed strategy for future high-quality research, aligning with the objectives of TEXT's work packages.
  • Teaching experience or demonstrated potential for excellence in teaching, course management, and student supervision in the areas listed above.
  • An interest in engaging with industry and society, promoting dialogue with practitioners, and exploring practical applications of language technologies.
  • A track record of or demonstrated potential for attracting external research funding.
  • Evidence of scientific leadership or a strong potential for it, reflected in abilities such as managing research projects, engaging in collaborations across disciplines and with industry, and participating in international networks.

For non-Danish speakers, a willingness to acquire a reasonable knowledge of the Danish language within three years. The department will provide support for learning Danish during the first two years of employment.

As this is an assistant professor position on tenure track, we value potential and promise as much as proven track records. We encourage early-career researchers with a strong foundation in Applied Natural Language Processing to apply.
