[Corpora-List] PhD position in Computational Linguistics at Charles University in Prague

[Marketa Lopatkova]

Vacant position for PhD candidates in Computational Linguistics 
===============================================================

The Charles University in Prague (CUNI) invites applications for a 
position as research scholar (PhD) in computational linguistics at the 
Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics.

The 3-year position involves participation as an Early Stage Researcher 
in the project "Linguistic Analysis for Treebank Annotation", which is 
the subproject of the EU project CLARA (Common Language Resources and 
their Applications, Marie Curie Initial Training Network receiving 
funding from the European Commission's 7th Framework Programme). The 
overall aim of the subproject is to  specify a common core of syntactic 
and semantic features for a range of languages (Czech, English, German, 
Slovak, and others). Different annotation schemes will be tested and 
validated by performing annotation of texts for these languages, 
providing as the final product annotated corpora (treebanks) for both 
linguistic research and statistical language learning, as well as 
creating NLP tools (i.e., tools for automatic syntactic and semantic 
analysis).

Application deadline: April 25, 2010
Duration: 3 years (starting from September 1, 2010)
Notification: May/June 2010
