Post-doc position in semantics, University of Trento

The CIMeC-CLIC laboratory of the University of Trento announces the availability of 1 (renewable) 2-year Post-Doc positions. The scholarship is funded by a 5-year European Research Council Starting Grant awarded to the COMPOSES (COMPositional Operations in SEmantic SPACE) project, that aims at modeling composition in distributional semantics.

The project is expected to have strong impact on both theoretical and computational semantics, as well as their cognitive underpinnings. We seek a brilliant researcher with a profile in formal semantics (areas of special interest: Montague Grammar and its derivatives, categorial grammar) and an interest in computational semantics. The candidate should possess at least basic programming skills and a reasonable knowledge of statistics.
