La liste d’activités du congrès de l’ACL de 2021 va comporter un Programme de Mentorat Pop-up.

Nous t’encourageons à t’inscrire en tant que mentor/mentore ou mentoré/mentorée — l’information suit! Nous apprécierions particulièrement les mentors et mentores: cette initiative demande peu d’investissement personnel mais promet d’être très gratifiante.

Le Programme de Mentorat Pop-up, c’est quoi?

Le Programme de Mentorat Pop-up (ou PUMP, de l’anglais Pop-Up Mentoring Program) est une série d’évènements qui vagabondent de conférence en conférence. Elle donne à toutes personnes interessées la chance de rencontrer brièvement un mentor ou une mentore hors du système de soutien officiel. Les paires de mentors/mentores et mentorés/mentorées sont formées par un coordonateur ou une coordonatrice PUMP en fonction des intérêts partagés par les personnes inscrites. Ces paires sont valides pour une seule session de mentorat, sans engagements supplémentaires. L’évènement est ouvert à tous et toutes, peu importe le stage de carrière ou le genre. Le but des sessions de mentorat est d’assister les linguistes moins expérimentés ou expérimentées en ce qui concerne une variété de problèmes et de questions se manifestant potentiellement dans un contexte professionel. Cela inclut l’équilibre entre travail et vie personnelle, le statut de minorité, ainsi que les candidatures à l’emploi ou aux études au-delà du baccalauréat. Ces évènements ont été populaires et aidants pour toutes les personnes concernées. Les évènements PUMP sont ouvert à tous et à toutes!

Pourquoi participer à un évènement PUMP?

Les mentorés et mentorées témoignent que rencontrer quelqu’un hors de leur département, à qui ils et elles peuvent poser des questions (qu’ils et elles ne se sentent pas à l’aise de discuter avec leurs mentor ou mentore officielles) a été extrêmement utile. Les mentors et mentores témoignent que se familiariser avec le contexte élargi dans lequel leur domaines doit être examiné, ainsi que les expériences de leurs propres mentorés et mentorées officielles, fut très gratifiant.

The CLA will host a Pop-Up Mentoring event as part of its 2021 conference.

Please consider signing up as a mentor or a mentee — information below! Mentors are especially appreciated: this is a low-commitment and high reward event.

What is the Pop-Up Mentoring Program?

The Pop-Up Mentoring Program (PUMP) is a series of events that travel around from conference to conference, giving anyone who is interested a chance to have a brief meeting with a mentor outside of their official support system. Mentors and mentees are paired by a PUMP coordinator based on shared interests for a one-time, no-strings-attached mentoring session. The event is open to all, regardless of career stage or gender, and the purpose of the mentoring sessions is to help more junior colleagues with a variety of potential problems and questions that arise in a professional context, such as work/life balance, minority status, and graduate or job applications. These events have proved popular and helpful for everyone involved. PUMP events are open to all!

Why participate in a PUMP event?

Mentees report that it has been extremely valuable to meet with someone outside of their department to whom they can pose questions they feel they cannot discuss with their official mentors. Mentors report how enriching it has been to become familiar with a broader context in which to examine the field and their own official mentees’ experiences.

Job Title:
Postdoctoral Research Fellow / Computational Linguist
Specialization:
Computational Linguistics; Indigenous Language Documentation

Job Rank:
Post Doc / Computational Linguist

Specialty Areas:
Computational Linguistics
Description:

The SSHRC-funded (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada), university-community Partnership “21st Century Tools for Indigenous Languages” invites applications for a full-time Postdoctoral Fellowship, beginning in Fall 2021 (start date negotiable). Position is tenable for 2 years, subject to review after the 1st year.

This 7-year Partnership is led by the Alberta Language Technology Lab (ALTLab) in the Department of Linguistics, University of Alberta. Its partners include 13 institutions and Indigenous language communities and 31 individual researchers and educators in Canada, the United States, and Norway. Further details of our Partnership can be found at: https://21c.tools and http://altlab.artsrn.ualberta.ca.

Members of our Partnership (https://21c.tools/people) have been developing computational models of the phonetics, morphology, lexis, and syntax of Indigenous languages in Canada and North America, starting with the Algonquian and the Dene language families, to create software applications that support their continued use in daily life by both speakers and learners. These include intelligent electronic dictionaries, spell-checkers, linguistically analyzed text collections, computer-aided language learning tools, as well as text-to-speech synthesizers and optical character recognition. The languages we have gotten the furthest with are Plains Cree (Algonquian) and Tsuut’ina (Dene).

Duties:

The tasks of the Postdoc will include the following, allowing for variation based on the successful applicant’s competences and interests:

  • participation in/responsibility for the continued development of our existing computational morphological and phonetic models (primarily using finite-state technology) and end-user applications for the Algonquian and/or Dene and/or other Indigenous languages we are working with;
  • participation in/responsibility for the application of new computational methods (e.g. machine learning techniques such as neural networks) in the morphological and phonological modeling of these languages;
  • participation in/responsibility for the development of new computational morphological and phonetic models and applications for Indigenous languages other than the ones we are working on, preferably spoken in Canada;
  • partial training and supervision of undergraduate and graduate students (M.A/Ph.D level) in developing models, applications and resources for Indigenous languages;
  • engagement with Indigenous community consultants on collecting primary linguistic data and gathering feedback from field-testers;
  • participating in the dissemination of the results as publications in scientific journals; and
  • other administrative responsibilities.
    The postdoc is expected to work with and support the activities of multiple partners in the Partnership, and may be co-located or based at other Partners for part of their tenure. The Partnership has allocated dedicated funding to this end. The fellowship comes with an annual salary (in CAD) in line with SSHRC policies (https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/funding-financement/programs-programmes/fellowships/postdoctoral-postdoctorale-eng.aspx), and benefits.
Qualifications:

Successful applicants will have specialized in the computational modelling (text and/or speech) of morphologically rich languages, with a willingness to learn the essential morphological and phonetic characteristics of the languages we are working with.

The applicants should have recently completed, or be about to finish, a Ph.D degree in linguistics or an associated relevant discipline.

By the end of the Postdoc appointment, the successful applicant will have a set of skills allowing them to partner with Indigenous communities and field linguists to develop a range of sophisticated tools in support of language maintenance and revitalization.

Application Instructions:
The application should include:

  • a research statement (ca. 2 pages) outlining past experience and current research interests and, in particular, how these align with and contribute towards the goals of our Partnership project;
  • a Curriculum Vitae (with a List of Publications);
  • 1–3 relevant academic writing samples; and,
  • 3 letters of recommendation (sent directly to the Project Director, Dr. Arppe, by referees).
  • Moreover, applicants are REQUIRED to contact Dr. Arppe in advance to discuss their research plan and application.
