Description:

Postdoctoral scholarship available in the NLP group at the Heidelberg 
Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS) in Heidelberg, Germany

One postdoctoral scholarship is available for a scientist working in Natural 
Language Processing/ Computational Linguistics, in particular in the areas of 
Discourse Processing, Natural Language Generation, Knowledge Extraction, 
Ontology Learning. Different topics may be possible as long as they are 
within the general interests of the NLP group (semantics, pragmatics, 
discourse, generation, see http://www.h-its.org/nlp).The scholarship will be 
granted initially for two years with the possibility for a one year extension 
after successful evaluation (please refer to
http://www.h-its.org/english/info/ST_postdoc_scholarship.php for terms and
conditions).

The candidate should have a strong background in computational linguistics 
and possess a PhD in either computational linguistics, computer science, or 
linguistics with a specialization in Natural Language Processing. Experience 
with machine learning and corpus-based methods, knowledge about statistics 
as well as strong programming skills, preferably in Java, are required.

HITS gGmbH is a private non-profit research institute carrying out 
multidisciplinary research in the computational sciences. It receives its base 
funding from the Klaus Tschira Foundation.

The NLP group at HITS is an interdisciplinary research group that works on 
applications in the area of discourse and dialogue, in particular coreference 
resolution, lexical semantics, text generation, automatic summarization, and 
knowledge extraction from semistructured input. The NLP group at HITS 
works closely together with the Computational Linguistics Department at the 
University of Heidelberg. The postdoctoral scholar will participate in a
jointly 
organized PhD colloquium. 

To apply, please enter your application via the following link:
