The starting date is May 1, 2025 or as soon as possible hereafter subject to mutual agreement.

Job description
The ideal applicant will be part of the Department of Management on the tenure track and part of TEXT, a new Center of Excellence funded by the Danish National Research Foundation. The applicant will split their research time on two of TEXT's work packages; one focusing on formal linguistic analyses (led by Associate Professor of Linguistics, Rebekah Baglini), and one focusing on implementing and testing practical applications of Large Language Models in educational, research, and business contexts (led by Assistant Professor of Management, Arthur Hjorth). All teaching and supervision activities will take place at the Department of Management.

We expect you to teach and supervise students at the Bachelor's and Master's levels and to carry out individual and group-based research of the highest international standard contributing to the development of the academic field in question.

The department especially welcomes applicants who can teach and supervise in the following areas:

  • Coding
  • Data Analysis
  • Natural Language Processing
  • Practical applications of Large Language Models

Qualifications
To qualify for the position as assistant professor in Applied Natural Language Processing, you must hold a relevant PhD or have equivalent qualifications.

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.
