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

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:

Two Postdoc fellowships available at Institut Gaspard-Monge (IGM), University of
Marne-la-Vallée and CNRS (UMR 8049), France

First Postdoc:
We invite applications for a postdoctoral position at IGM. The appointment
will be for one year (non renewable), starting on September 1, 2005. The 12
month fellowship package includes approx. 1,600 euros monthly salary,
health insurance and travel grant. The major research focus of our group is
natural language text processing based on linguistic resources and
finite-state automata. An online description of the research activities of
our group is available at http://infolingu.univ-mlv.fr/english/

Eligible topics:
- XML transcoding of the group's linguistic resources
- extension of recursive-transition-network parsing software to the case of
  weighted RTNs
- construction of a lexicalised grammar of syntax for predicative nouns
- extension of an advanced concordancer to bitexts

Qualifications:
Ph.D. in Computer Science or Linguistics. Prior experience in large-coverage
linguistic resources is desirable.


Second Postdoc:
The post-doctoral fellow will work on the state-funded Outilex project,
dedicated to the development of a software platform for text processing
based on linguistic resources, XML and finite-state automata. He/she will
assemble the elements of the platform in co-ordination with the project
partners.

Qualifications:
Ph.D. in Computer Science. Strong computer programming skills are essential.
Prior experience in distributed software development is desirable.
