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

Rank of Job: Assistant Professor
Areas Required: Applied Natural Language Processing
Other Desired Areas:
University or Organization: University of Amsterdam
Department: Institute for Logic, Language and Computation
State or Province: Amsterdam
Country: Netherlands

The Language and Inference Technology (LIT) group at the Institute for
Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) invites applications for a new
tenure track position at the assistant professor level.  Candidates
from all areas of applied natural language processing will be
considered, but preference may be given to candidates with expertise
in information retrieval or large-scale evaluation exercises and their
statistical underpinnings.

Faculty duties include undergraduate teaching in the computer science,
artificial intelligence and information science programs, as well as
courses in information retrieval and natural language processing.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in a relevant discipline, a demonstrated
record of excellence in research, and a strong commitment to
teaching.

The salary will be between 2056 Euros and 4325 Euros, gross per month.
Knowledge of Dutch is not a prerequisite, but candidates are expected
to master the Dutch language to a sufficient degree to be able to
teach in Dutch within two years after being hired. The starting date
is September 1, 2002 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Research within the LIT group is centered around the foundations and
applications of inference and language processing systems, with a
strong emphasis on the evaluation of algorithms and methods, both
theoretically and experimentally.  Current research interests in the
group range from automated reasoning, constraint programming,
satisfability checking, and formal verification to digital libraries,
information retrieval, parsing technologies, computational syntax and
semantics, question answering and knowledge engineering.  The group is
strongly internationally oriented, and currently consists of nearly 25
people.  More information about the LIT group and its members can be
found at http://www.illc.uva.nl/LIT.

Anyone interested in this position is invited to contact Maarten de
Rijke at mdr at science.uva.nl or +31 20 525 5358.
