Computational Grammarian - German

The NLP Group in Microsoft Research is looking for a computational
grammarian for German. The positions will be located on the Microsoft
central campus in Redmond, Washington, USA. The NLP Research group
began in 1991, and has grown to include 7 languages, all of which have
well-developed broad coverage analysis components. The grammarian's
primary responsibilities will be to collaborate with a group of
researchers (within the context of a German team) on the development
of linguistic modules inside the systems. These currently include an
analysis grammar, a logical form component and an experimental
generation module. The grammarian's qualifications should include
experience in linguistic research, software development and natural
language processing; a flexible approach to linguistic theory; and an
advanced degree in linguistics, or a closely related
discipline. Native proficiency in the language of choice is
assumed. Familiarity with generation is a plus.

If you are interested in joining our team, please send your resume as a
Word document or in ASCII text format with code number N05rc-2u
indicated in the subject line to: nlresrch at microsoft.com.

Be sure to specify the position of interest. For more information,
