[Corpora-List] Post-doctoral position in computational linguistics at Uppsala University

[Joakim Nivre]

The Computational Linguistics group at Uppsala University is looking  
for a post-doctoral researcher to work on the project "Efficient  
Algorithms for Natural Language Processing Beyond Sentence  
Boundaries". The appointment is for two years starting as soon as  
possible. The deadline for applications is December 5, 2011.

The project aims to develop efficient algorithms for the integration  
of contextual information beyond sentence boundaries in natural  
language processing, specifically machine translation and syntactic  
parsing. The project will also explore the use of models that  
incorporate different types of discourse information into these  
processes, including but not limited to discourse referents, lexical  
cohesion and information structure. The project is a collaboration  
between the Computational Linguistics group and the Division of  
Scientific Computing at Uppsala University.

Candidates should have a PhD degree, not older than five years, in a  
subject relevant to computational linguistics. Experience of research  
on machine translation and/or syntactic parsing is preferable but not  
a requirement. Questions about the position can be sent to Professor  
Joakim Nivre (joakim.nivre at lingfil.uu.se) or Professor Jörg Tiedemann (jorg.tiedemann at lingfil.uu.se 
). The formal announcement, including information about how to apply  
can be found at: http://www2.personalavd.uu.se/ledigaplatser/2673postDoc.html
