[Corpora-List] Job opening: Research associate at Tuebingen (Germany)

[Stephan Kepser]

The theoretical computational linguistics group (headed by
Prof. Dr. Uwe Mönnich) at University of Tübingen, Germany, has an
opening for a Research Associate (wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter BAT
IIa/2) with specialisation in Computational Linguistics starting as
soon as possible. 

The position is fractional (50%) and temporary, ending 30th September
2008. This position is suitable for candidates wishing
to pursue a PhD in computational linguistics.

The successful candidate will be a member of the research project
"Linguistic Description Structures as Data Types" of the collaborative
research centre 441 on "Linguistic Data Structures" 
(http://tcl.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/a2/).  An important part of the
project is research on theoretical and practical aspects of querying
linguistic treebanks.  To make these valuable resources accessible to
linguists, the development of powerful query systems with decent
runtime properties is an important goal in computational linguistics. 

Duties: 
development and implementation of a query system for treebanks
based on tree automata. 

Profile:
the successful candidate must have a four-year degree in
computational linguistics or computer science.  He or she should have
practical experience in the design and implementation of larger
software systems.  Knowledge of linguistic treebanks and/or the theory
of tree automata is a plus. 

Application deadline: 8th May 2005

Please submit your application (CV and other relevant documents) in
