 ==========================================================================
The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html.

This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment
standards of various countries.

Postdoc Position 1


Qualified individuals are invited to apply for a postdoctoral
fellowship in Computational Linguistics.  The fellowship is supported
by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and
provides an annual stipend of $28,000 per year, renewable. A qualified
candidate should hold a Ph.D degree in an area of Computational
Linguistics and have experience in syntactic parsing, preferably
principle-based parsing. Technical experiences with C/C++ and
Unix/Linux on Sun/Window platforms are preferable. The successful
candidate will join the UQAM research team in collaboration with
Princeton and MIT researchers to develop a model of parsing based on
the recovery of natural language asymmetries. See the UQAM homepage
for a summery of the project: http://www.asymmetryproject.uqam.ca


The fellowship is expected to start between now and September
1. Consideration of the applications will begin immediately until the
position is filled. Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, a cover
letter, and two letters of recommendations to Anna Maria Di Sciullo,
Departement de Linguistique, Universite du Quebec a Montreal, Case
Postale 8888, Succursale Centre Ville, Montreal, PC. H3C 3P8, Canada.,
