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

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:

Post-Doctoral Researcher in Natural Language Processing

Job Reference:  3009188
Department:  Informatics  
Job Title:  Research Associate
Job Function:  Academic
Job Type:  Fixed Term: 36 months
Expiry Date:  15 July 2008 
Salary Scale:  GBP 28,290-33,779
         
The School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh invites
applications for the post of researcher on the project 'Global Inference
for Summarization Using Integer Linear Programming', funded by the EPSRC.
This project will design and implement novel models for summarization that
break away from the sentence extraction paradigm. The overall aim is to
utilize global inference algorithms for the summarization task and
demonstrate their superiority over traditional local optimization methods.

The position is suitable for a candidate with a PhD in Natural Language
Processing, computer science, mathematics, or a related discipline. The
successful applicant will have strong programming skills and experience
with natural language processing techniques and machine learning.
Experience with summarization and/or optimization methods is also
desirable. He or she will be responsible for developing summarization
models (both extractive and abstractive) within a global inference
framework evaluation and for their evaluation. The starting date will be 01
September 2008, or as soon as possible thereafter.

Informal inquiries can be made by email to Mirella Lapata. Further
