================================================================  

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/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Description:

The Institute of Cognitive Science at the University of Osnabrueck (Germany)
seeks applicants for a two-year Postdoctoral position. The position, carrying a
salary according to scale BAT IIa, is embedded in the project "The Modeling of
Predictive Analogies with Heuristic-Driven Theory Projection" funded by the DFG
(German Research Foundation).  

The goal of the research project is to develop models for analogical reasoning
and metaphorical expressions that can be implemented on machines. The complete
spectrum of the analysis of analogical inferences and metaphorical expressions -
ranging from the logical specification and the development of a denotational
semantics to the implementation of algorithms and machine learning procedures -
are covered by the project.

Applicants should have a PhD degree and should additionally fulfil the following
requirements
- Knowledge in logic, algebra, and complexity theory
- Knowledge in the semantics of natural language
- Knowledge in the development of algorithms 
- Practical knowledge in at least one of the following programming languages:
Prolog, Java, or ML

The University of Osnabrueck strives for an increase in the number of women in
academic employment. Women are therefore especially encouraged to submit their
applications and will be preferentially considered provided they are equally
qualified. Disabled candidates with equal qualifications will also be given
preference. There is an option for part-time employment.
