The Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability (CLASP) is based in FLoV at the University of Gothenburg, and is funded by a 10 year grant from the Swedish Research Council (2015-2025). CLASP is devoted to research and advanced training in the application of probabilistic modeling and machine learning methods to core issues in linguistic theory and cognition. It also addresses topics in dialogue and linguistic interaction. For a description of CLASP see clasp.gu.se

Job assignments

The postdoctoral researcher is expected to conduct research in CLASP's core areas of research in cooperation with the research group. More specifically, people in CLASP are currently conducting research in linguistics and computational linguistics using ideas from the following research areas:

• Type Theory (or logics) and probability
• Machine Learning including Deep Learning and Neural Networks
• Theorem Proving and Bayesian Reasoning
• Formal Models of Dialogue and Linguistic Interaction
• Combining logical and Machine Learning/Deep Learning approaches
• Models combining language and perception
Apart from research, duties may include mentoring graduate students, course design, and/or teaching-related activities; such supplementary duties will not exceed 20% of the position’s responsibilities.

The holder of the position is expected to carry out the vast majority of her/his research in Gothenburg and to actively participate in the research group's workshops, seminars, and conferences.
