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.

I am doing a search for a company in Rhode Island, started by Brown University
alumni that has developed patent-pending meaning-based search technology.
They just merged with one of the largest ISPs and are well funded.
They are looking for a full-time, permanent Computational Linguist to
participate in the collaboration and creation of advanced language tools for
Web search and other projects.
	
Immediate projects include:
	* Develop Page sense disambiguation (PSD) algorithms to improve and
          augment current methods for disambiguation of web pages
	* Build a web-based, multi-purpose corpus
	* Develop Automatic Expansion algorithms -from user-added meanings,
	  automatically update the database; perform hyponym extraction from
          web-based corpora
	* Develop single line parser algorithm - pull out the nouns and
          possibly intentions from a query on the search engine
	* Develop evaluation methodologies for all algorithms
	* Create and manage a research team - locate and recruit people who
          are experts in any of the needed fields
	
If you know of anyone who might be interested or if you would like more
information, please give me a call, toll-free, at (877) 465-9570.
	

	
Sincerely,
