The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Ispra, at the Lago
Maggiore in Northern Italy, is inviting applications for grants at post-doc
level (Ph.D. or 4+ years post-graduate research experience) in a variety of
fields, including Language Technology. Deadline for applications is 15 June
2002 (post stamp).

Applications by women and by citizens of any of the following countries are
particularly welcome: Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary,
Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia.

You find information on the conditions for the research fellowships, as well
as the application form, on the main JRC web page http://www.jrc.it and on
the pages of the Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen
(IPSC): http://ipsc.jrc.it (click on 'Opportunities').

The monthly grant is in the range of 3300 to 5000 Euros. The maximum grant
duration is 24 months. Before applying, make sure that you match the
eligibility criteria, especially those regarding the nationality and the age
of the applicants.

Instead of filling in section 3.1 of the application form ("Description of

interests and skills fit our goals. The JRC's Language Technology activities
