Tom Roberts accepts computational linguistics position at Utrecht

Tom Roberts (PhD, 2021) has recently accepted a position as Assistant Professor of Computational Linguistics in the Department of Languages, Literature, and Communication at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, starting in November 2023. Tom’s research focuses on the semantics-pragmatics interface, especially of attitude verbs and speech acts, and how these can (and can’t) vary across languages. This won’t be much of a move for Tom, as he has been just down the road from Utrecht as a postdoc at the University of Amsterdam since leaving UCSC, so he will thankfully not have to give up his omafiets (a roadster bike, literally “grandma bike”).
