Research Funding in Computational Linguistics:
Postgraduate and Postdoctoral Teaching Fellowships in
Computing and Language (French or German)
The Centre for Computing and Language Studies, at Trinity College,
University of Dublin, is pleased to announce the availability of two
postgraduate teaching fellowships funded by The Senior Lecturer's
Broad Curriculum Initiative. The two three-year positions are open to
senior postgraduate research students who will contribute to small
group teaching within the Moderatorship in Computer Science,
Linguistics and a Language, while pursuing research towards a Ph.D.
Therefore, candidates must be of an excellent standard in either
French or German, and in computing. Applications from qualified
native (and near-native) French and German speakers with an excellent
standard of English are quite welcome.
Specifically, the postgraduate teaching fellows will contribute to a
first year undergraduate module which is an introduction to
programming through the programming language, JAVA. This is one
strand of the first year computing component of the degree. Within
small group settings, second (natural) language skills will be
developed at the same time as programming concepts and techniques.
The research field is open; however, it should fall within
computational linguistics, broadly construed, and within the interests
of potential supervisors within Trinity College.
It is also possible for suitably qualified candidates to assume one of
the positions as a part-time Post-doctoral Teaching Fellow. Similar
constraints on research area apply.
For an overview of the undergraduate degree involved, use the following

Candidates
Applicants for the Postgraduate Teaching Fellowships should either
already be enrolled as postgraduate students at Trinity College,
University of Dublin, or should provide evidence of a Master's
degree in an appropriate discipline and should file an application
for supervised postgraduate study at Trinity College via the
Graduate Studies Office by August 10, 2001. Refer to the College
web pages (http://www.tcd.ie/Graduate_Studies/index.html) for
information on how to apply for postgraduate study.
Conditions of Studentships
As part of their training in pedagogy, successful applicants will
engage in a maximum of six hours per week of undergraduate small
group teaching, during teaching terms.
The studentship ceases to be tenable when the recipient ceases to
be a registered postgraduate student. In the event of this
happening, the studentship may be converted to a part-time
Post-doctoral Teaching Fellowship.
Award Period
The award period is for a maximum of 3 years.
Value of Studentship
The value of the Postgraduate Teaching Studentship will be a
stipend of 18,000 euros per annum, rising by 1,000 euros per annum
in each subsequent year, plus fee remission at the level of EU
postgraduate student rate. The difference in fees from EU rates
for non-EU candidates will not be supplemented. The stipend is
not subject to payroll taxes.
Value of (Part-Time) Post-doctoral Teaching Fellowship
The holder of a part-time Post-doctoral Teaching Fellowship will
be remunerated at the level of 16,071 euros per annum, rising by
894 euros per annum, and will be subject to income tax and PRSI.
Application Process
Full consideration for applications to the Postgraduate Teaching
Fellowships (or part-time Post-doctoral Teaching Fellowship) can
be guaranteed only for those applications which arrive by August
24, 2001.
Applications for the Fellowships should consist of the following:
0) A research proposal with a nominated supervisor in TCD
1) A curriculum vitae
2) Report of academic progress to date
3) Evidence of expertise in JAVA programming
4) Evidence of fluency in French or German
5) Documentation of teaching experience
6) Details, particularly email addresses, of nominated
referees (or, preferably, directly sent letters of
reference)
Applications should be posted to:
Carl Vogel
Centre for Computing and Language Studies
University of Dublin
Trinity College
Dublin 2
