The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html.

This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment
standards of various countries.

			Position Announcement

University of Tuebingen
Dept. of Linguistics
Division of Computational Linguistics

The Division of Computational Linguistics in the Dept. of Linguistics
at the University of Tuebingen, Germany is seeking applications for a
postdoctoral (or predoctoral) position to work in the area of
automated language learning. Applicants who have developed
relevant computational tools (such as finite-state utilities, pattern
matching, statistical language modelling, etc) are encouraged to
apply. The position is expected to last until the end of March 2002
(pending forthcoming approval).

This position is sponsored by the European Commission: Training and
Mobility of Researchers (TMR) and is part of the project ``Extending
Computational Grammars by Learning'', coordinated by Prof. John
Nerbonne at the University of Groningen. The successful candidate will
be expected to interact with the postdoctoral researchers at the other
participating sites: University of Groningen, SRI Cambridge,
University of Antwerp, University College Dublin, ISSCO Geneva and
Rank Xerox Grenoble. For details of the project see:

http://lcg-www.uia.ac.be/lcg/

The European Commission has imposed firm funding restrictions on TMR
postdoctoral positions:

   The postdoc must be 35 or younger and a European citizen, and must
   "cross a border" to accept the position.  This last point means:
   must not have worked more than 18 of the last 24 months in the
   country in which they accept the position.  They further may not be
   a citizen of the country in which they accept the award. Details of
   the TMR program may be found at:

        http://www.cordis.lu/tmr/

Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, statement of research
interests, up to three representative publications, and the names and
addresses (electronic and mail) of three references (whom we will
contact for letters, as needed), to:

Dr. Dale Gerdemann                       dg at sfs.nphil.uni-tuebingen.de

2 postes d'Ingénieur-Chercheur en traitement de la parole chez IBM
France

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

En rejoignant IBM, le leader mondial des technologies et services
informatiques, vous allez participer à un formidable challenge : le
développement de systèmes de pointe (logiciels de dictée ViaVoice,
téléphonie, compréhension du langage naturel).  Cet environnement
pluridisciplinaire et international vous conduira à travailler en
coordination avec les équipes de R&D IBM réparties dans le monde.
L'équipe basée à Paris a la double mission de faire avancer la Recherche
sur les problèmes spécifiques à la langue française, et de calculer et
optimiser les modèles acoustiques et linguistiques du français dans tous
les domaines de technologie du langage (reco, synthèse,
compréhension...)

Au sein de ce département, vos missions sont les suivantes :

Ingénieur-chercheur logiciel (référence : ICLW)
- --------------------------------------------
Vous étudiez, concevez et développez les outils internes de calcul
scientifique.  La mise en place et l'intégration d'environnements en
reconnaissance de la parole, téléphonie, etc... feront également partie
de votre mission.  Les candidatures des débutants seront prises en
compte.

Ingénieur-chercheur en modélisation de la parole (référence: ICMAW)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Vous êtes responsable du calcul de modèles statistiques du français pour
le traitement de la parole, au niveau acoustique ou linguistique.  Fort
d'une première expérience dans un domaine identique ou connexe
(laboratoire de recherche, université), vous avez des compétences en
mathématiques appliquées, statistiques, modélisation probabiliste et
programmation.

Pour ces deux postes, la maîtrise de l'anglais et la connaissance des
plateformes UNIX, Windows, des languages C/C++, ksh et Tcl/Tk sont
requises.
Seules seront envisagées les candidatures de personnes parfaitement
francophones.

Adressez vos candidatures (lettre, CV) sous la référence choisie à
  IBM France
