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

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.

on the analysis of item structure and content, as well as evaluation of the
system. You will also be involved in the implementation/fine tuning of
various Natural Language Processing (NLP) components. The initial contract
is for two years with the possibility of extension, subject to successful
completion of this project. You should have a PhD in
linguistics/computational linguistics or equivalent experience together
with native or near native English language comprehension and excellent
knowledge of English grammar, syntax and discourse analysis. Experience NLP
techniques and programming as well as experience working on industrial

Senior Research Fellow level you will need to demonstrate a very good
publications record, grant applications experience, and potential
leadership qualities.

Applications should include a completed application form, CV, and covering
letter in which the candidates explain why they have applied for the
position and give details of their research interests/experience and
background. Candidates should also give the names of three referees with
their email addresses and telephone numbers. The interviews are scheduled
to take place early October, and the starting date as soon as possible
after that.

Established by Prof. Mitkov in 1997, the Research Group in Computational
Linguistics (http://clg.wlv.ac.uk) is a highly successful one, delivering
cutting-edge research in a number of NLP areas such as anaphora resolution,
automatic summarisation, question answering, lexical knowledge acquisition,
textual entailment, text categorisation, named entity recognition,
information extraction, corpus construction and annotation, automatic
terminology processing, multilingual processing, and multiple-choice
question generation. To a large extent, this research has been undertaken
in projects funded by major UK funding bodies and commercial partners.
