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

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 University of Minnesota Department of Pharmaceutical Care and Health
Systems (Twin Cities) and the Computer Science Department (Duluth) invite
applicants for a post-doctoral position in health informatics. This
position will support a project that will focus on developing measures of
semantic relatedness among biomedical concepts and applying these measures
for medication safety surveillance. The University of Minnesota has a
strong emphasis on Biomedical and Health Informatics. The successful
applicant for this position will join a dynamic and rapidly growing group
of investigators with a broad spectrum of expertise including informatics,
computer science, pharmacy, medicine, public health, linguistics and
cognitive science. 

The successful candidate will have a doctorate degree in computer science,
computational linguistics, information science, health informatics or a
closely related discipline. The candidate will also have a strong
programming background (Java, C++ and/or Perl) as the work will involve
software development and evaluation including database management and
web-based technologies. 

Preference will be given to candidates with strong backgrounds in natural
language processing and machine learning and those that have demonstrated
experience in working with measuring semantic similarity and ontological
and terminological resources such as WordNet, UMLS, SNOMED-CT. Familiarity
with building software applications for distributed multi-processor
platforms is also a plus.

Interested individuals should submit a letter of intent, a curriculum
vitae, and contact information for three references to : Dr. Serguei
Pakhomov (pakh0002 at umn.edu) and Dr. Ted Pedersen (tpederse at d.umn.edu)
