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

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.

English) as well as participation in the research activities of the AI group. 

Applicants should have an excellent academic degree (Master/Diploma) in computer science or a 
related discipline, and potentially a PhD degree. In the ideal case, the successful candidate has 
experience in interdisciplinary research and fulfils at least two of the following requirements:

- Thorough knowledge in formal logic and knowledge representation formalisms, in particular 
with respect to ontology design and inference procedures
- Thorough knowledge in the theory of artificial neural networks
- Thorough knowledge in cognitive modeling
- Thorough knowledge in the development of algorithms 
- Practical knowledge in at least one of the following programming languages: Prolog, Java, 
ML/Scheme, or a similar language.

The University of Osnabrueck strives for an increase in the number of women in academic 
employment. Women are therefore especially encouraged to submit their applications and will

qualifications will be given preference. 

There is an option for part-time employment. 

Letters of application with the usual documents (CV, list of publications, and the names of two 
referees) should be sent to the Director of the Institute of Cognitive Science, University of 
Osnabrueck, Albrechtstrasse 28, 49076 Osnabrueck. The deadline for applications is September
