The ILPS group at the Informatics Institute of the University of  
Amsterdam (UvA) has an opening for a postdoc or senior scientific  
programmer in the ‘Namescape’ project.

We are looking for someone with a background in computational  
liguistics or AI, with an affinity for literature and the Dutch  
language.

History and the Institute for Dutch Lexicology (INL) and financed by  
Clarin-NL. The research concerns the use of named entities within  
Dutch literature. The aim is to extend a manual pilot project on 20  
novels to a fully automatic analysis of a corpus of almost 9000  
digitized modern Dutch novels. The project involves named entity  
recognition, special classification (real vs fictional entities),  
entity deduplication and modelling co-occurrence of entities.

The project runs for 1 year. For more information, see the research  
proposal at http://ilps.science.uva.nl/PoliticalMashup/uploads/2012/01/proposal_namescape_abstract.pdf
