To Prospective Graduates

A Message to Prospective Graduates

I’m excited to share that our COMPUS team is looking for motivated graduate students to join us through project-based assistantships.

We welcome students with an interest in corpus linguistics or computational linguistics who want to gain hands-on experience, work closely with faculty, and contribute to ongoing research projects. We are currently recruiting new members in part-time project-based assistant roles.

As a member of our group, you will have the chance to:

  • Strengthen your coding and analytical skills
  • Collaborate with faculty and senior graduate students
  • Receive financial support through the 僱傭型/學習型兼任助理 program
  • Contribute to projects funded by the NSTC (國科會)

Your main responsibilities will include:

  • Attending weekly group meetings
  • Giving short presentations
  • Completing project-based assignments
  • Assisting with research-related tasks

Many of our graduates have completed excellent theses, and you can browse the topics of the previous graduates’ thesis projects here if you’d like to see the kinds of thesis projects we work on.

If you’re interested in exploring research in corpus or computational linguistics, please feel free to reach out to me at alvinchen@ntnu.edu.tw. The earlier you get in touch during your master’s program, the better we can plan together to connect your coursework and thesis with ongoing projects. These topics often benefit from a solid foundation in statistics, programming, and text analysis, so early preparation will be especially helpful.

Our group meets every Thursday afternoon, and we look forward to welcoming new talents and perspectives to our community.

Best regards, Alvin
