The posting

The School of Psychology and Cognitive Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology invites applications for a full-time, 9-month tenure-track Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics, beginning in August 2027. Candidates are expected to have an earned doctoral degree (in hand by August 2027) in Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, or a related field. The position additionally offers an affiliation with the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures in the School of Languages, Humanities, and Social Sciences.

Successful candidates should demonstrate computational expertise, strong research talent, and initiative in grant writing. Candidates should also have a plan for excellence in teaching and student mentoring at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applicants must be able to teach our courses in language technology and large language models, natural language processing, and/or computational speech processing. In addition, applicants should be able to teach foundational linguistics from a cross-linguistic perspective, as well as courses in at least one additional linguistics, artificial intelligence, or cognitive science subfield. Proficiency in an additional language other than English is preferred, and we welcome research or teaching experience involving language learning. The position requires a commitment to teaching and mentoring, active research and publication, and a strong potential to attract external funding. Research and teaching are priorities for faculty at RIT, and all faculty are expected to mentor graduate and undergraduate students through advising, research, and in-class experiences.

The computational linguistics-related programs at RIT serve a rapidly expanding student population at a technical university. We are looking for a faculty colleague who can also contribute to the interdisciplinary M.S. program in Artificial Intelligence and the Ph.D. program in Cognitive Science. Our coursework is also offered to B.S. in Artificial Intelligence majors. In addition, RIT provides many opportunities for collaborative research across the institute in areas such as linguistics of sign languages and languages other than English, artificial intelligence, human-centered computing, and cybersecurity. RIT faculty have access to extensive research computing resources.

REQUIRED MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

● Ph.D. (in hand by August 2027) in Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, or a related field.

● Have demonstrated ability to conduct independent research in computational linguistics.

● Demonstrate potential for external research grant attainment.

● Have consistently and recently published in computational linguistics.

● Demonstrate potential for excellence in teaching language technology, natural language processing, and/or computational speech processing.

● Demonstrate potential for excellence in teaching foundational linguistics from a cross-linguistic perspective, and courses in at least one more linguistics, artificial intelligence, or cognitive science subfield.

● Demonstrate potential for excellence in supervising graduate and undergraduate student research.

● Show a career trajectory that emphasizes a balance between research and teaching.

Priority application deadline: November 15, 2026. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
