* Employer: [https://www.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/ Technische Universität Darmstadt], Germany
 +
* Title: Doctoral researcher
 +
* Specialty: NLP
 +
* Location: Darmstadt
 +
* Deadline: July 10, 2016
 +
* Date posted: June 10, 2016

KRITIS ("Kritische Infrastrukturen: Konstruktion, Funktionskrisen und Schutz in Städten"), a new interdisciplinary research training group at Technsiche Universität Darmstadt and funded through the German Research Foundation, is currently seeking a '''Doctoral Researcher''' to start on 1 October 2016.
 +
 
 +
KRITIS researches systems for technical supply and disposal, and for communication and transport, which have become the central nervous system of modern cities.  Their disruption can trigger dramatic crises.  Modern city infrastructures are increasingly vulnerable not only to external threats (natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and cyber attacks) but also due to their inherent complexity and interdependence.  Our aim is to understand and describe these complex systems in their spatial and temporal contexts.  This is done in three main research areas:
 +
 
 +
# We want to ensure that technical infrastructures are constructed with the term "critical" in mind.  We therefore ask what technical-functional needs, and political and social considerations, are relevant, and how these vary according to the systems' historical and spacial context.
 +
# We assume that the complex spatial and temporal arrangements become particularly visible during infrastructural-functional crises.  We therefore investigate failures of urban infrastructures, including the conditions contributing to their vulnerability or resilience.
 +
# Finally, we ask how we can best organize protection against or preparation for infrastructural-functional crises (so-called "prevention and preparedness").
 +
 
 +
Research in the training group takes an interdisciplinary approach, with cooperation among the following specialities:  space and infrastructure planning, modern and contemporary history, medieval history, philosophy of technology, comparative analysis of political systems, ubiquitous knowledge processing, urban design and planning, rail systems, and computer science for architecture and construction.
 +
 
 +
In this area, the discipline of ubiquitous knowledge processing (Prof. Iryna Gurevych) is concerned with the interactions between urban infrastructure (e.g., transport, telecommunications), communication in social media, and the relevant spatial and temporal analysis methods from the perspective of adaptive information and text processing.  This will be of particular interest to doctoral candidates in the fields of real-time text analysis which can be applied to the early detection of crises, to public opinion-making, or to crisis management through automated evaluation of (online) content such as Twitter.
 +
 
 +
Possible dissertation topics include:
 +
* Social-spatial differences of criticality: location- and class-specific text-analytic mining of argumentation on urban infrastructure in social media
 +
* Mining of arguments on urban infrastructure in social media for cascading reactions (i.e., spatio-temporal spread of social media responses to the collapse of urban infrastructure)
 +
* Early recognition of vulnerability: Real-time monitoring of information on hazards to urban infrastructure in social media
 +
* User expectations on the speed of resolution of infrastructural failures – comparison and analysis of tweets across national boundaries
 +
 
 +
For discussion or advice on further possible research topics and organizational issues, please contact Prof. Iryna Gurevych at [mailto:jobs@ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de jobs@ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de].
 +
 
 +
'''Requirements:'''  The successful applicants should produce a doctoral dissertation related to one or more of the above-noted research priorities.  This dissertation should be completed within three years and submitted to one of the departments of Technische Universität Darmstadt.  Further information on KRITIS's scientific program and its participating professors will be available soon on the following website:  [http://www.kritis.tu-darmstadt.de http://www.kritis.tu-darmstadt.de]
 +
 
 +
It is expected that all members of the research training group will be intensively engaged in interdisciplinary cooperation leading to scholarly publications and lectures.  To this end, regular participation in seminars, symposia, workshops, etc. is required, which necessitates the doctoral candidates being domiciled in the Rhine-Main area.
 +
 
 +
'''Working environment and conditions:'''  KRITIS offers an excellent research infrastructure for doctoral students who wish to carry out their own research project within an innovative and internationally networked program. The members of the group work in shared offices under the support and patronage of participating professors.  Among the special services include the possibility of a financed stay abroad in one of four internationally renowned partner universities.  We also work with various partners in the private and public sector (companies, government offices, and other organizations) at which candidates can complete internships.
 +
 
 +
Salaries for doctoral candidates depend on qualifications and experience, and will be in line with the collective agreement for employees at TU Darmstadt (TV-TU Darmstadt). The positions are limited to three years and include, depending on the field, 65% to 100% (full-time) employment.
 +
 
 +
'''Your application:'''  TU Darmstadt strives to increase its number of female employees, and as such particularly encourages women to apply.  All other things being equal, applicants who have a degree of disability of at least 50% (or the equivalent) will receive preference.  Please prepare your application in English or German, and compressed as a single file (up to 6 MB).  Applications should be sent by e-mail to Prof. Gurevych at [mailto:jobs@ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de jobs@ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de] by '''10 July 2016'''.  The application should include a CV listing language skills and overseas experience, scanned copies of academic credentials, and a sketch of up to five pages for a doctoral project.
 +
 
 +
We look forward to receiving your application!

Responsibilities:
+
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research associate position to study the relationship between visual/spatial representations and language.  Language is often used to describe the visual world and this is done by labelling objects in the world with various categories such as roles (e.g., agent, goal).  There is now a large infant social cognition literature which shows how categories like agents and goals may be identified using simple visual heuristics.  In this post, we will strengthen these links by experimentally manipulating visual cues to see how they influence language choices in adults and children.  In addition to the experimental study of these links, we will also develop computational models that use computer vision techniques to track the interaction of objects in videos and link these visual codes to the descriptions of the actions.  We are most interested in people with a computational background who have an interest in human vision/language processing.

Doctoral Researcher at UKP/KRITIS, TU Darmstadt

KRITIS ("Kritische Infrastrukturen: Konstruktion, Funktionskrisen und Schutz in Städten"), a new interdisciplinary research training group at Technsiche Universität Darmstadt and funded through the German Research Foundation, is currently seeking a Doctoral Researcher to start on 1 October 2016.

KRITIS researches systems for technical supply and disposal, and for communication and transport, which have become the central nervous system of modern cities. Their disruption can trigger dramatic crises. Modern city infrastructures are increasingly vulnerable not only to external threats (natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and cyber attacks) but also due to their inherent complexity and interdependence. Our aim is to understand and describe these complex systems in their spatial and temporal contexts. This is done in three main research areas:

  1. We want to ensure that technical infrastructures are constructed with the term "critical" in mind. We therefore ask what technical-functional needs, and political and social considerations, are relevant, and how these vary according to the systems' historical and spacial context.
  2. We assume that the complex spatial and temporal arrangements become particularly visible during infrastructural-functional crises. We therefore investigate failures of urban infrastructures, including the conditions contributing to their vulnerability or resilience.
  3. Finally, we ask how we can best organize protection against or preparation for infrastructural-functional crises (so-called "prevention and preparedness").

Research in the training group takes an interdisciplinary approach, with cooperation among the following specialities: space and infrastructure planning, modern and contemporary history, medieval history, philosophy of technology, comparative analysis of political systems, ubiquitous knowledge processing, urban design and planning, rail systems, and computer science for architecture and construction.

In this area, the discipline of ubiquitous knowledge processing (Prof. Iryna Gurevych) is concerned with the interactions between urban infrastructure (e.g., transport, telecommunications), communication in social media, and the relevant spatial and temporal analysis methods from the perspective of adaptive information and text processing. This will be of particular interest to doctoral candidates in the fields of real-time text analysis which can be applied to the early detection of crises, to public opinion-making, or to crisis management through automated evaluation of (online) content such as Twitter.

Possible dissertation topics include:

  • Social-spatial differences of criticality: location- and class-specific text-analytic mining of argumentation on urban infrastructure in social media
  • Mining of arguments on urban infrastructure in social media for cascading reactions (i.e., spatio-temporal spread of social media responses to the collapse of urban infrastructure)
  • Early recognition of vulnerability: Real-time monitoring of information on hazards to urban infrastructure in social media
  • User expectations on the speed of resolution of infrastructural failures – comparison and analysis of tweets across national boundaries

For discussion or advice on further possible research topics and organizational issues, please contact Prof. Iryna Gurevych at jobs@ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de.

Requirements: The successful applicants should produce a doctoral dissertation related to one or more of the above-noted research priorities. This dissertation should be completed within three years and submitted to one of the departments of Technische Universität Darmstadt. Further information on KRITIS's scientific program and its participating professors will be available soon on the following website: http://www.kritis.tu-darmstadt.de

It is expected that all members of the research training group will be intensively engaged in interdisciplinary cooperation leading to scholarly publications and lectures. To this end, regular participation in seminars, symposia, workshops, etc. is required, which necessitates the doctoral candidates being domiciled in the Rhine-Main area.

Working environment and conditions: KRITIS offers an excellent research infrastructure for doctoral students who wish to carry out their own research project within an innovative and internationally networked program. The members of the group work in shared offices under the support and patronage of participating professors. Among the special services include the possibility of a financed stay abroad in one of four internationally renowned partner universities. We also work with various partners in the private and public sector (companies, government offices, and other organizations) at which candidates can complete internships.

Salaries for doctoral candidates depend on qualifications and experience, and will be in line with the collective agreement for employees at TU Darmstadt (TV-TU Darmstadt). The positions are limited to three years and include, depending on the field, 65% to 100% (full-time) employment.

Your application: TU Darmstadt strives to increase its number of female employees, and as such particularly encourages women to apply. All other things being equal, applicants who have a degree of disability of at least 50% (or the equivalent) will receive preference. Please prepare your application in English or German, and compressed as a single file (up to 6 MB). Applications should be sent by e-mail to Prof. Gurevych at jobs@ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de by 10 July 2016. The application should include a CV listing language skills and overseas experience, scanned copies of academic credentials, and a sketch of up to five pages for a doctoral project.

We look forward to receiving your application!

Postdoc Researcher on Vision and Language

  • Employer: University of Liverpool
  • Title: Postdoc
  • Specialty: Computer Vision with an interest in human vision/language behaviour
  • Location: Liverpool UK
  • Deadline: April 20th, 2016
  • Date posted: March 28, 2016
  • Contact: link to application page

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research associate position to study the relationship between visual/spatial representations and language. Language is often used to describe the visual world and this is done by labelling objects in the world with various categories such as roles (e.g., agent, goal). There is now a large infant social cognition literature which shows how categories like agents and goals may be identified using simple visual heuristics. In this post, we will strengthen these links by experimentally manipulating visual cues to see how they influence language choices in adults and children. In addition to the experimental study of these links, we will also develop computational models that use computer vision techniques to track the interaction of objects in videos and link these visual codes to the descriptions of the actions. We are most interested in people with a computational background who have an interest in human vision/language processing.

This post offers the opportunity to join a thriving research group at the University of Liverpool and become a member of the ESRC International Centre for Language and Communicative Development (LUCID, http://www.lucid.ac.uk/), a multi-million pound collaboration between the Universities of Liverpool, Manchester and Lancaster. You should have (or be about to obtain) a PhD in the field related to Computer Science, Psychology, Cognitive Science, or related disciple. The post is available for 3 years.
