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

Agents) project funded by the EU's IST Programme. The objective of
NECA is the development and implementation of a system for creating
web applications with embodied conversational agents which show
personality traits and emotion. Key tasks of OeFAI in the project are
      * German natural language generation,
      * Integration of verbal and nonverbal aspects of communication
	including
              - the development of a representation language and
              - the implementation of a component for animation

The candidate should have a strong interest in web applications and
good programming skills, preferably in Java. A background in natural
language generation and/or embodied conversational agents is expected.

She/he has finished her/his diploma or an equivalent degree in
computational linguistics, or computer science or a comparable
study.

A good command of German and/or English is expected.

The project has started October 2001, with a duration of 30 months.
We would like to fill the position by April 1st, 2002, but the exact
starting date is negotiable. The original contract will be for 15

OeFAI offers a very friendly and stimulating working environment. It
is the leading Austrian research center in the field of Artificial
Intelligence. Its offices are situated right in the center of
Vienna. More information about the OeFAI and its Natural Language
Processing group can be found at http://www.ai.univie.ac.at/oefai/
