The Department of Psychology and Department of Modern Languages and Cultures at the Rochester Institute of Technology jointly invite applications for a full-time, 9-month tenure-track Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics, beginning in August 2025. Candidates are expected to have an earned doctoral degree (in hand by August 2025) in Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, or a related field.

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, natural language processing, and/or speech processing. In addition, applicants should be able to teach foundational linguistics from a cross-linguistic perspective, as well as courses in one or more linguistics or cognitive science subfields. Proficiency in a language other than English is preferred, and we welcome research or teaching experience involving language learning. The position requires a strong 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 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 particularly looking for a faculty colleague who can also contribute to the interdisciplinary Ph.D. program in Cognitive Science and the M.S. in Artificial Intelligence.
