Jobs: System developer (corpus annotation tool)

[Volker Gast]

Job opening (part time/50%)

We are seeking a research associate with a background in computer 
science to join our international collaborative research group on 'A 
corpus-based typology of clause linkage' based at the universities of 
Zurich and Jena. Our project aims at statistically modelling the 
structural variation in corpora of genealogically and geographically 
diverse languages.

We are looking for someone to take responsibility for the development of 
a software system facilitating the annotation of our corpora by human 
experts.

Applicants must hold a university degree in some relevant field, e.g. 
computer science or linguistics. Applicants from other fields will also 
be considered if they can demonstrate the necessary skills, esp. in the 
areas of complex data structures, script languages and web design. The 
ability to work in a team and good communication skills are essential.

The position is based at the University of Jena (Department of English 
and American Studies). The salary is in accordance with the German state 
regulated public service salary scale (TV-L 13/2).

Applications can be sent to Volker Gast by email (reference number 
19/2011). The deadline is February 21, 2011, but the position will 
remain open until filled.
