About this position

Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin is seeking a research associate in the Department of Romance Literatures and Linguistics, Faculty of Language, Literature and Humanities. The position focuses on Romance languages with a specialisation in Spanish and combines Spanish linguistics with computational linguistics and natural language processing.

The successful researcher will work with large language models and multilingual transformer models, including fine-tuning and instruction tuning approaches such as LoRA. The role also involves evaluating language models, developing and assessing NLP systems, and applying advanced Python programming with PyTorch in GPU-based environments such as CUDA, Google Colab and high-performance computing systems.

A central component is linguistic data and corpus work. The researcher will use Universal Dependencies annotation standards and the CoNLL-U format, contribute to corpus curation through collaborative annotation tools, and work on parsing and parser evaluation, including tools such as spaCy. Statistical methods will support the analysis of linguistic variation.

The research environment also connects computational methods with Spanish dialectology and morphosyntax. Possible complementary areas include Latin American Spanish varieties, automatic speech recognition and annotation pipelines, GIS-based analysis and visualisation of dialect distributions, and citizen-science or crowdsourcing approaches to data collection. The role includes university teaching at Bachelor’s and Master’s level and participation in a collaborative academic department.

The position is supervised by Prof. Dr. Miriam Bouzouita within the Department of Romance Literatures and Linguistics at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

Funding details

This is a full-time, third-party-funded research associate position with salary grade E 13 TV-L HU. The contract is fixed-term until 31 December 2030; the position comprises 39.4 hours per week. The advert does not state a specific salary amount.

What's required

Applicants must have a completed university degree and doctorate in linguistics, computational linguistics, computer science or a related field. They need Spanish and English at least at C1 level, expertise in LLM fine-tuning and instruction tuning, evaluation of LLMs and multilingual transformer models, experience with Universal Dependencies and CoNLL-U, parsing and parser evaluation, collaborative corpus annotation tools, advanced Python programming for NLP with PyTorch, GPU computing using CUDA, Google Colab or HPC, statistical analysis of linguistic variation, university-level teaching experience, and a publication record or demonstrable potential in computational linguistics or NLP. Applicants should also have word-processing and spreadsheet skills, an independent and organised working style, communication and teamwork skills, and flexibility. Desirable qualifications include Spanish dialectology and morphosyntax, ASR and annotation pipelines, GIS, citizen science or crowdsourcing, Latin American Spanish varieties, academic administration, and German at least at B1 level.
