Openings in MACHINE TRANSLATION at L&H-LT Barcelona

The L&H Language Technology GmbH & Co. KG (previously under the name GMS, Gesellschaft für Multilinguale Systeme mbH), with head office in Munich (Germany), is a leading developer of machine translation software.

The L&H-LT language development division is based in Barcelona (Spain). For the development of new machine translation language pairs we have several job openings. The new candidates will back up the current team, comprising 45 members, in designing and implementing formal analysis, transfer, and generation grammars, or
encoding the corresponding monolingual and bilingual lexicons.

Candidate profile:

- (Computational) Linguists for grammar and lexicon development (ref. LING) with:
  * university degree in linguistics or computational linguistics
  * some programming experience (grammar developers only);
  * experience in writing formal grammars for natural languages would be a plus

Languages:

* English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Dutch

Successful candidates should:

* be native speakers of one and have near-native proficiency in another of the languages mentioned above; additional languages would be an asset since further language pairs will soon be added
* be willing to work together with the rest of the team
* have good social and communicative abilities
* show perseverance, accuracy and thoroughness

Starting date:		As soon as possible (open for at least one year)

You will join a young, international, and highly motivated team. L&H-LT combines research and development of market-ready products. This will thus offer a great opportunity to those people who want to apply their acquired knowledge and apply their skills in real-world conditions. Since the L&H-LT long-term objective is to implement machine translation products for all possible language pair combinations between Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish, this will also give future prospects to candidates beyond the initial term of contract.
