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

The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to engage in non-discriminatory 
hiring practices. We urge employers not to discriminate on the grounds of race, 
ethnicity, nationality, disability, 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:

About Us:
Language Computer Corporation (LCC) is a privately-owned company committed
to the development of next-generation natural language processing (NLP)
technologies.  Since our founding in 1995, we've provided both government
and commercial customers with intelligent, semantically-informed search and
discovery software tools which unlock value by actually understanding the
information stored in large collections of text.  LCC has spun off two
semantic technology startups, including Swingly, a Web-scale answer engine,
and Extractiv, a high-performance content harvesting service.

The Position:
We are seeking linguists to assist in developing our language processing
software.

Tasks could include data analysis, annotation, and knowledge resource
creation (e.g. lexicons and grammars). The position will last 8-12 weeks at
our offices in Richardson, TX.  Start time is immediate.  Ideal candidates
must possess a constant desire to learn the new technologies involved,
think creatively to solve the kinds of problems associated with NLP, and
work with software engineers to define the tasks.  There is a possibility
that the position could transition into a full-time job.

Requirements:
-Fluency in English
-Linguistics or Computational Linguistics degree, or at least 3 years in a
linguistics program.

Desirable qualities:
-Familiarity with the Linux platform
-Programming experience (Java, Python, etc.)
-Proficiency with regular expressions

Application Deadline:  (Open until filled)

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
