 ==========================================================================
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.

The Department of Computational Linguistics at the University of the
Saarland in Saarbrücken, Germany, is currently seeking computational
linguists and computer scientists with NLP background for several
postgraduate and postdoctoral positions in the following areas:

 * Dialog processing (spoken language, multimodal perspectives).

 * Computational Lexicography. Emphasis is on technology for
   large semantic lexica.

 * Modeling of NL comprehension (cognitive and computational
   aspects). Emphasis is on semantics, but research ranges from the
   syntax/semantics interface to inference.

Positions are for two to five years. The salary is according to the
BAT IIa scale, starting from around Euro/US$ 30.000 p.a., depending on
age and family status. It is possible to pursue Habilitation or
Ph.D. dissertation work. Working languages are German and English.

The University of the Saarland provides a stimulating research
environment for computational linguistics and language technology. The
Department of Computational Linguistics is recognized as one of the
leading institutes in the field worldwide. It cooperates closely with
the Departments of Computer Science and Cognitive Psychology, the
German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), and the
Max-Planck-Institute for Computer Science. The Department maintains
worldwide cooperations and research contacts to academic and
industrial institutions.

The University of the Saarland is an equal opportunity
employer. Applications of women or handicapped persons are therefore
encouraged.

Participants of COLING-2000 are invited to arrange an appointment
during the conference. Inquiries can be directed to
