Temporary Position in Semantics at UCLA

The UCLA Department of Linguistics solicits applications for a
one-year replacement position in Formal Semantics, during the coming
academic year (1998-99).   (It is possible, though by no means
certain, that a permanent position will become open in 1999-2000.)

We are looking for someone to teach courses at the undergraduate and
graduate levels. Undergraduate courses would probably include an
introduction primarily to semantics and at least one additional
course in another area (for example, introduction to Linguistics, or
syntax). The graduate courses would include a survey course on
semantic theory and an advanced seminar course on current research.
Aside from teaching classes, the position would also involve advising
graduate students.

The rank of this position is open, though preference will be given to
candidates at the Assistant Professor  level.

Candidates should send a CV, samples of work, and names and addresses
of three referees to:

     Tim Stowell, Chair,
     UCLA  Department of Linguistics,
     Los Angeles, CA, 90095-1543

We will attempt to fill this position before the end of April 1998;
candidates whose applications are received prior to April 15 are
assured of the fullest consideration.

Because of the relatively late announcement of this position, and
the possibility of mail delays, it is highly recommended that
applicants send a brief e-mail message stating their interest in this
position to     stowell at ucla.edu

UCLA is an equal opportunity employer.

Subject:  Spanish and French Computational Lexicographers needed

We are a technical recruiting firm in Seattle looking for one each,
Spanish and French computational lexicographers to work on a one-year
NLP project at Microsoft, Redmond Washington.  Please send CVs to me
by email.  Please feel free to forward this to whomever you think
might be interested.  Thank you.

Description:  Designing and writing critique rules for a grammar
checker.  The rules are based on the output of our (Spanish, French)
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: Experience in linguistic research and software
development; familiarity with natural language processing; flexible
approach to linguistic theory; advanced degree in linguistics, computer
science, or closely related discipline.  Proficiency with Spanish or
French, practical experience with NLP implementation issues or grammar
checkers desirable.
