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

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:

We are looking for a computational linguist to join the development team
for SDL International's leading machine-translation technology. This
linguist will join a small, highly motivated team that works with passion,
patience, and lots of smarts on continually improving a leading
machine-translation technology.

SDL International is the leader in global information management (GIM)
solutions that empower organizations to accelerate the delivery of
high-quality multilingual content to global markets. Its enterprise
software and services integrate with existing business systems to manage
global information from authoring to publication and throughout the
distributed localization supply chain.

This opening is located in SDL's Nashua, New Hampshire, office. We are not
seeking people to work remotely.

Successful candidates must be fully authorized to work in the U.S. and will
meet the following requirements:

-  Minimum of a Bachelor's Degree in modern foreign languages, linguistics,
or computational linguistics; Master's or PhD preferred.
-  Native or near-native capability in English;
-  Exceptional fluency in at least one of the following languages: Danish,
Dutch, or Finnish, 
-  Proficiency in German, Italian, Portuguese, French, or Spanish is a
definite plus.
-  Excellent general computer literacy;
-  Programming skills (knowledge of Perl, Prolog, Java, or C++);
-  Experience with commercial machine-translation systems and other
translation tools;
-  Experience in grammar and lexicon development;
-  Familiarity with linguistic resources (corpora, grammars, parsers, etc.);
-  Detail-oriented, organized, and quality-focused;
-  Excellent communication skills

We offer competitive salary, a strong benefits package, and a great working
environment.

If your skills and experience match our requirements, and if you like the
idea of working on a technology that reaches millions of people and is
helping to redefine an industry, then this could be the job for you. (We
advertised recently for two such positions and filled one of them. Now we
need to find exactly the right fit for the remaining job. We look forward
to finding someone who loves working here as much as we love working with
him or her.)

Please send a cover letter and CV to the email address listed below.
