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.

We are looking for a Research Associate for our project "Coalgebraic
Modelling of Hyper Texts and Annotation Graphs" for a period of 2+1
years with the option to prolong by another 3 years.

Project aims:
Although there are first analyses of hyper texts and annotation graphs
available on a descriptive level, there exists neither a formally
satisfying theory nor a logically exact representation of them. The
onhand project tries to develop a formal framework for hyper texts and
annotation graphs that is distinguished by an essential use of
coalgebraic methods. Coalgebraic techniques are preferable over
algebraic ones, because hyper texts and annotations of discourses are
usually associated with graphs, and the natural mathematical
description of graphs is given by coalgebras. This formal framework
provides the mathematical model by which a logical-semantical
representation of hyper texts and annotation graphs will be made
possible. This opens the opportunity to analyse the consistency and
practicability of the proposed models. The theoretical results will
also be used to exemplify certain practical applications.

Requirements
* m.sc. or m.a. in (theoretical) computational linguistics, computer
  science, or mathematics
* ph.d. in (theoretical) computational linguistics, computer science,
  or mathematics desirable
* strong formal background
* knowledge of universal algebra
* knowledge of universal coalgebra desirable
* interest in hyper texts, annotation graphs, and markup languages
useful

Disabled people will be prefered when having the same qualification.

The University of Tübingen strives to increase the proportion of women
in research and teaching, and therefore encourages qualified female
scientists to apply.

The salary follows German civil servants standard (Vergütungsgruppe
BAT IIa) and amounts to approximately 43.000 Euro brutto varying by
age and maritial status.

publications and the necessary diplomas to
