[Corpora-List] Position in European-wide eSciences Infrastructure Project

[Verena Henrich]

The Division of Computational Linguistics in the Dept. of Linguistics at the University of Tuebingen, Germany has an opening for a computer scientist  or computational linguist within a large-scale, EU funded eScience infrastructure project. The goal of the project as a whole is to provide an infrastructure for storing and analyzing large data sets. The specific responsibilities of this position include:

- the design and implementation of data analysis workflows (or processing chains) operating on linguistic data stored in the provided infrastructure
- creating front-end web applications and services to provide access to the data within the infrastructure and to carry out the workflows
- working closely with other user communities within the project who will be creating similar workflows for non-linguistic data sets (eg climate data) in order to identify, generalize, and implement one or more generic workflows

Applicants should demonstrate expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- knowledge of client-server software development (including web services)
- managing large data sets
- extensive programming experience in Java or another object-oriented programming language
- knowledge of XML technologies
- knowledge of natural-language processing

A good command of English is a must as well as the ability to work in a team. Some proficiency in German is helpful.

The position is available from October 1, 2011 until December 31, 2013, although an appointment for a shorter period is also possible. The position is at the rank of 'Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter' (Ph.D. or M.A./M.Sc. in computer science, computational linguistics or a related field is required). The salary is determined by the German civil servants standard (Entgeltgruppe 13 TV-L).

Applications should include a CV, an outline of research and/or practical experience, as well as names and addresses of 3 references. Applications should be sent by mail or by email to the address below.

Applications received by September 10, 2011 will receive full consideration, although interviews may start at any time and will continue until the position has been filled.
				
Disabled applicants will be preferred if they have the same qualifications as non-disabled applicants. The University of Tuebingen strives to increase the proportion of women in research and teaching, and therefore encourages qualified female scientists to apply.

Application Deadline: September 10, 2011 (Open until filled)
