================================================================

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.

Description:

The School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh invites
applications for four research posts in the area of Information Extraction
and Text Mining. The appointments have a fixed duration of 2 1/2 years and
are expected to start April 2005, or shortly thereafter.

Three of the posts are part of a new project which uses Natural Language
Processing techniques to assist scientists in curating databases from the
online literature. Of the three posts, the first is in the area of document
retrieval, the second is in the area of shallow and statistical methods of
Information Extraction and the third is in the area of statistical/hybrid
computational semantics. The fourth post explores similar techniques but
involves a variety of application domains.

You will have skills in one or more of the following areas: Information
Retrieval, Information Extraction, Shallow Text Processing, Computational
Semantics, Ontologies, Statistical NLP, Machine Learning. Experience with
XML is highly desirable, as well as good programming skills in one of the
following languages: C, C++, Perl, Python, Java.

Interested persons should complete and return the Application Form and a
