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

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.

computer science, whilst a PhD in computational linguistics or equivalent
experience is a plus. Experience in Natural Language Processing (NLP)
techniques and programming are required, as well as familiarity with
Question Answering and Information Extraction. Publications in good

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.
