Funded Ph.D. scholarship in Bitext Creation and Automatic Annotation
2004-2007

The School of Computing and the National Centre for Language
Technology has secured a studentship for a Science Foundation
Ireland-funded Basic Research project on Bilingual Corpus Development
and Automatic Annotation. The project starts October 2004. Funding

Corpus-Based Probabilistic Machine Translation.

Our ideal candidates have a strong background in Computing,
Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing with
programming experience in one or more of Java, Perl, C++, Prolog, Lisp
etc. Competence in a language in addition to English will be an
asset. Knowledge of LFG, HPSG or similar constraint-based grammatical formalisms will be useful. A strong interest in and motivation for research are essential.

To apply, please send us a short CV together with contact details for
