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

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.

The chair of Computational Linguistics at IMS, University of Stuttgart,
Germany, invites applications for one Ph.D. position in computational
lexical semantics, available from June 1st (or later). Salary is according

The candidate will contribute to a research project within the

corpus-based methods for modelling language meaning in context.

Desired qualifications:
- Excellent university degree in Computational Linguistics or relevant
related subject
- Strong programming skills (preferably Java)
- Previous exposure to lexical semantics and statistical NLP

IMS is a leading CL/NLP research institution with four professors in
different areas of NLP, a research staff of 40 and an undergraduate program
in CL. We offer the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects
in a dynamic and international research team with up-to-date infrastructure
and resources. English is the working language; nevertheless, an ability to
speak, or willingness to learn, German is appreciated.

Please send inquiries and applications to Sebastian Pado (see contact
