                POSITION IN COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS
 
                      Rank Xerox Research Centre
                               Grenoble
                                France
 
The Multilingual Theory and Technology group of the Rank Xerox
Research Centre invites applications for a researcher position in
computational linguistics.
 
DUTIES: Participate in the conception and implementation of a
multilingual text generation system under development at RXRC.
 
The primary domain of application is the automatic generation of
statistical reports from numerical data. The emphasis is in
developing principled solutions to some outstanding problems in text
generation, rather than in relying on ill-motivated shortcuts.
 
Keywords:
 
Denotational Semantics, Logical-Forms, Object-Oriented Data Models,
Multi-Sentential Paraphrases, Redundancy Elimination, LFG Realization,
Reversibility, Message Planning.
 
REQUIREMENTS: Applicants should have a Ph.D. in linguistics or
computer science, with specialization in computational linguistics, or
a proven track-record of high-quality research in this area. They
should have previous experience or a strong interest in text
generation. An interest for formal methods and a background in
unification grammars, formal semantics and/or the semantics/syntax
interface are important assets. Good programming skills and practice
are necessary (knowledge of Prolog useful). Creativity is essential as
is the ability to communicate effectively with fellow researchers.
 
Fluency in English is required, knowledge of French or German
desirable.
 
TERMS: The position is open for an initial term of two years. Salary
will be based upon qualifications and relevant experience.
 
There is no specific deadline for the application, but we hope to fill
the position by August 1995.
