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

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

Description:

The Department for Computational Linguistics at Saarland University,
Saarbrücken, Germany, invites applications for a scientist position

Applicants should hold a PhD in Computational Linguistics or a related
field and demonstrate a strong background in Natural Language Processing
and especially Computational Semantics.

Saarbrücken University is one of the leading European research sites in
Computational Linguistics and offers an active, stimulating research
environment. Close cooperations exist with other disciplines (esp. computer
science and artificial intelligence). The institute is committed to excellence in
teaching, offering an international MSc program and hosting the
International Post-Graduate College in Language Technology and Cognitive
Systems.

The successful candidate will contribute substantially to ongoing research
activities in the Semantics group as well as participate in developing
future research directions. Possible areas of investigation include: data-driven
semantic processing; deep semantic modelling and inference; semantics in NLP
applications. The candidate will also participate in teaching at the
graduate and undergraduate level (teaching load: 4 hours/week) as well as
