 ==========================================================================
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 POSITIONS AVAILABLE
Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences
Project Corpus based Study of the Syntax and Semantics of Collocations
in German

Several positions are available for a corpus linguistics project
funded by the Wolfgang Paul Programm sponsored by the Alexander von
Humboldt Foundation (http://www.avh.de).

The goal of the project is the semantic and syntactic analysis of
German collocations such as "Aufmerksamkeit zollen", "zur Entscheidung
bringen", "mit Kind und Kegel", "grüne Welle", and "gut und
gerne". This work will proceed in close collaboration with the
"Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache des 20. Jh."
(http://www.dwds.de). For a full project description see
http://www.dwds.de/info.

Linguists / Lexicographers:
The ideal candidate will be a native German speaker and have a
Master's degree or equivalent with a background in lexical semantics,
the syntax-semantics interface, and/or lexicography. Familiarity with
databases and basic computational skills are required. Ability to work
in a team with linguists and computer scientists is
essential. Starting date: April, 1, 2002.

Computer Scientists / Computational Linguists:
The candidates will contribute to the development of leading-edge text
search and retrieval server products based on Oracle 9i. The ideal
candidates will independently develop significant software product
components along with benchmarking activities.  Requirements: Master's
degree or better in Computer Science or related fields; experience
with text analysis and text search systems, database systems;
proficiency in C or C++. Knowledge of basic statistics is
desirable. Starting date: January, 1, 2002.


Positions (rated BAT-IIa; around 80.000 DM per year), which may be
part time or full time, are available initially for two years and may
be renewable for a third year. The work will be carried out at the
Berlin Brandenburg Academy of Sciences (BBAW) in Berlin, Germany under
the direction of Christiane Fellbaum.

Applications received by December 1, 2001 will receive full
consideration, although interviews may start at any time. For further
