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

University or Organization: Cambridge
Department: Computer laboratory
Rank of Job: Researcher
Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics


Description:

Research Associate
Grade:  RASS		
Salary range: 18,265-27,339 pa
Limit of Tenure:  Up to 36 months

Applications are invited for a Research Associate to work on a
research project on rhetorical analysis, citation analysis and
summarisation. The project will study the interaction of natural
language understanding techniques and discourse effects empirically on
a large text corpus of scientific texts. In particular, machine
learning techniques will be used to recognize the orientation of a
citation context as contrastive (''negative'' or ''supportive''). The
project will also investigate robust methods for porting recognition
of cue phrases (''In this paper, we present...'') to new domains such
as bio-informatics.

Qualifications and experience required (as appropriate to the grade
and duties): Applicants should have a PhD (or equivalent experience)
in computational linguistics, computer science or a related
discipline, good programming skills (Java, C++ or perl), and knowledge
of statistical NLP techniques.  Knowledge of internet technologies
would be an advantage.

Applicants should send a cover letter, full CV, the names and
addresses of three academic/professional referees and a form PD18
