Subject:  Computational Grammarian-Spanish

Our client is looking for a Computational Grammarian for Spanish for a
one-year contract position.  Persons interested in this position may
send their resume to Resource Management Services via email to
resourcemgt at msn.com.  Or resumes may be sent by fax to Resource
Management Services-Linguist at 206-223-8227 (United States phone
number).  A description of the position is listed below.

COMPUTATIONAL GRAMMARIAN for Spanish

A large U.S.-based software company is looking for a computational
grammarian for Spanish in a temporary contractor role.  The position
will be located in Redmond, Washington, USA.  This is a great
opportunity to work with a dedicated group of researchers who are
creating a broad-based Spanish parser, and an experienced product team
who will ship a grammar checking product based on the core parsing
technology.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

The primary responsibility will be designing and writing critique
rules for a grammar checker.  The rules are based on the output of our
Spanish language parser, so the critique rule writer will become
intimately familiar with our existing natural language system, and
will then enhance the system by creating rules to flag grammatical
errors and suggest alternatives.

QUALIFICATIONS:

The qualifications should include experience in linguistic research
and software development; familiarity with natural language
processing; a flexible approach to linguistic theory; and an advanced
degree in linguistics, computer science, or a closely related
discipline.  Native proficiency in Spanish is assumed; practical
experience with NLP implementation issues or grammar checkers is
highly desirable.

ABOUT THE GROUP:

We are in the process of designing and building a system to analyze
unrestricted natural language, taking input text, and moving from
lexical/morphological analysis through syntax, semantics, and
eventually pragmatics and discourse.  A generation component is also
planned.  We have already shipped products world-wide based on our
English and Japanese technology, and are now ready to ship in French
and Spanish.
