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

RESEARCH ASSOCIATE/FELLOW IN COMPUTER SCIENCE (NLP)
The Natural Language Processing Group of Computer Science
(http://fw4.cms.salford.ac.uk/research/) has recently been awarded a
grant to carry out research in the context of a EUREKA funded European
collaborative project with industry and academia in the area of
bioinformatics. The group's role is to apply natural language
processing techniques to the analysis of molecular biology corpora.
Duties: * to adapt and expand the Group's existing tools for automatic term
recognition and clustering;
* to interface the group's tools with existing natural language
parsers;
* to work on semantic tagging for domain specific texts; and
* to aid in the design and construction of ontologies.
Expertise: MSc or preferably PhD in Computer Science, Artificial
Intelligence or Computational Linguistics. Good programming skills
(Java, Perl) are essential. Knowledge of at least basic natural
language processing techniques is highly desirable. Knowledge of
statistics-based methods in NLP is a plus.
Salary: Up to GBP 21,463 per annum (in first year), according to
qualifications and experience.
Duration: 30 months
Starting date: The post is immediately available.
Informal enquiries should be addressed to Dr S.Ananiadou
(S.Ananiadou at salford.ac.uk).
Candidates should send a detailed CV with the names of 2 referees to:
Dr S.Ananiadou (S.Ananiadou at salford.ac.uk)

TWO RESEARCH STUDENTSHIPS in COMPUTER SCIENCE (NLP)
The Natural Language Processing Group of Computer Science
(http://fw4.cms.salford.ac.uk/research/) has available two fully
funded three year research studentships. The group was recently
awarded a EUREKA funded grant in the area of NLP and Bio-informatics.
Successful candidates should have a minimum of a 2.1 honours degree
(or equivalent) in Computer Science or Artificial Intelligence.
The successful candidates will be involved (with researchers in the department
and abroad) in innovative research into:
---- novel ways of information extraction from scientific texts
---- design of domain specific ontologies
---- integration of ontologies with scientific databases
---- information retrieval
We are particularly interested in candidates able to engage in
multi-disciplinary research involving NLP.
Expertise: Good programming skills (Java, Perl). An ability to conduct
research, to work independently and to contribute to the group's
research activities. An ability to work with industrial
collaborators. Knowledge of NLP is a plus (but not essential).
The studentships carry a bursary of £6,800 plus fees (at UK/EU rates)
Informal enquiries should be addressed to Dr S.Ananiadou
(S.Ananiadou at salford.ac.uk).
Candidates should send a detailed CV with the names of 2 referees to:
