Linguistics in Tuebingen includes the following two tasks:
- the construction of a tree bank for the German VERBMOBIL corpus
with the focus on syntactic annotation.

dialogues, manual and automatic alignment of German/English
bilingual corpora.
Candidates for the position should have native or near-native
competence in German, have research experience in German syntax, and
have good language skills in English.
The second phase of the VERBMOBIL project started in January 1997.
Funding is guaranteed until December 1998. Contingent on a successful
midterm review, funding is expected to be extended until December
2000. The successful candidate would be expected to take up the
position as soon as possible. The position is at the rank of
"Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter" (salary on the German payscale of
