From: JCMA at ai.mit.edu (John C. Mallery)
Subject: Computational Linguistics Position: Postdoctoral Associate at the MIT
 
 
          The Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the
             Massachusetts Institute of Technology
                      invites applications for a
          PostDoctoral Associate, Position #95-0148C
 
A Postdoctoral Associate in computational linguistics is needed to
work with a team developing a natural language understanding system
targeted at unrestricted domains.  The research will be part of a
fundamental research project seeking to embed intelligence into the
information infrastructure; several prototypes have been developed
that have been tested and used by the U.S. White House.
 
The individual will develop a bidirectional parser-generator for
English as a component of a larger system.  The parser-generator will
be closely coupled to a semantic representation built on research in
lexicalist and constructivist semantics and directed towards bottom-up
acquisition of knowledge from text.  The system will be applied to
unrestricted English and must fail gracefully when its coverage is
exceeded.
 
Qualifications: PhD in computational linguistics or related
field.  Individual must demonstrate an exceptional ability to design
and implement complex systems in Common Lisp; Lisp Machine experience
is a plus. Excellent communications and computational skills are
important because this individual will be working with a team and
building on a substantial software base.
 
NOTE: At present we anticipate that funding for this position will
continue through 7/31/96, with potential follow-on funding.
 
Qualified applicants, please respond mentioning position # to:
