			Position Announcement

University of Tuebingen
Dept. of Linguistics
Division of Computational Linguistics


The Division of Computational Linguistics in the Dept. of Linguistics
at the University of Tuebingen, Germany is seeking applications for a
postdoctoral position (possibly extendable to pre-doctoral candidates)
to work in the area of automated language acquisition. Special
consideration will be given to applicants whose research involves
combining statistically-based and corpus-based methods with feature
structure-based grammars. Applicants working in other areas of
computational language learning are also encouraged to apply. The
position is to last until 4/2001.

This position is sponsored by the European Commision: Training and
Mobility of Researchers (TMR) and is part of the project
``Extending Computational Grammars by Learning'', coordinated by
Prof. John Nerbonne at the University of Groningen. The successful
candidate will be expected to interact with the postdoctoral researchers
at the other participating sites: University of Groningen, SRI
Cambridge, University of Antwerp, Trinity College Dublin, ISSCO Geneva and
Rank Xerox Grenoble. For details of the project see:

http://lcg-www.uia.ac.be/lcg/

  The European Commision imposed funding restrictions on TMR
  postdoctoral positions: The postdoc must be 35 or
  younger and a European citizen, and must "cross a border" to accept
  the position.  This last point means: must not have worked more than
  18 of the last 24 months in the country in which they accept the
  position.  They further may not be a citizen of the country in which
  they accept the award. The salary is based on the Marie Curie Rates,
  for which see:

        http://www.cordis.lu/tmr/src/quest&an.htm#q14

Applicants should send a curriculum vitae, statement of research
interests, up to three representative publications, and the names and
addresses (electronic and mail) of three references (whom we will
contact for letters, as needed), to:


Dr. Dale Gerdemann                       dg at sfs.nphil.uni-tuebingen.de
Dept. of Linguistics                     Tel: +49 7071-29-74967
Section for Computational Linguistics     Fax: +49 7071-550520
University of Tuebingen
Kl. Wilhelmstr. 113
D-72074 Tuebingen, Germany

Applications should be submitted before June 30, 1999. Those
applicants who will be attending the EACL conference in Bergen may
meet with Dale Gerdemann there to discuss the project.
