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

University or Organization: Saarland University
Rank of Job: Researcher
Specialty Areas Required: Psycholinguistics

Description:

The Psycholinguistics Group in the Department of Computational
Linguistics, Saarland University is seeking to fill a research
position in the area of Experimental Psycholinguistics. The group has
an active profile in human language processing research, which
includes on-line experimental studies (eye-tracking), computational
modeling, and statistical NLP.

Experimental Psycholinguist: Experience in designing, running and
analysing psycholinguistic experiments is desired. Ideal applicants
will also have familiarity with (some of) the following paradigms:
self-paced reading, eye-tracking (fixed or head-mounted), language
production, and web-based experiments. Good knowledge of German is
also strongly desired for this position, but may be waived for an
exceptional candidate.

This is primarily a research position, although some research related
teaching will also be involved (particularly for the experimental
psycholinguist). Candidates should have research experience in a
relevant subject area, and ideally hold a PhD. The positions are on
the BAT IIa scale (roughly up to Euro 40K per annum, depending on age
and family status) and are tenable for 2-3 years in the first
instance, with good possibilities for renewal. Positions are available
from early 2003.  Applications received before November 1, 2002 are
assured fullest consideration.  Interested persons should send a
letter of application giving contact details for two possible referees
and a full CV to the address below (e-mail applications are also
welcome).

The Department offers state-of-the-art research facilities including,
high-end computer servers and workstations, head-mounted (SMI) and DPI
eye-tracking equipment, and software and corpus infrastructure.
Saarland University has an international profile in computational
linguistics, cognitive science and computer science. The research
environment is further supported by a European Graduate School for
''Language Technology and Cognitive Systems'' (joint with Edinburgh
University) and a Centre of Excellence (SFB 378) in the area of
''Resource Adaptive Cognitive Processes''.

The University of Saarland seeks to increase the proportion of women
in positions where they are under-represented, and therefore
particularly encourages applications from women. In the selection
procedure, disabled persons with equivalent qualifications will be
favoured.
