   Subject: Programmer Job at the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC)

Programmers and Their Ilk,

As the manager of LDC publications I am looking to hire an experienced
programmer to develop systems for the production of large linguistic
data sets. The majority of the work is performed in PERL on Unix systems
although there is some work supporting Windows and MacIntosh systems.
Any familiarity with C, C++, Python, and SGML/HTML/XML is a 'good thing'
and not to be scoffed at.

Although this is obviously an excellent position for anyone interested
in computation, linguistics, audio and/or video, there are also
opportunities within the purview of publications in database
organization, archival research, cgi-bin systems design, and library
science.

Not that you asked, but if you're not familiar with the the LDC, we are
the major provider of research data to the linguistic research community
and benefit from the largesse of many researchers and grantors. We are a
part of the University of Pennsylvania and located at 3616 Market in
Philadelphia Pennsylvania.

If you think you might be interested in this position, please check out
the official job listing on the UPenn web at
http://www.hr.upenn.edu/jobs/record_view.asp?id=00116720 or email me
directly at mailto://andrew.cole@ldc.upenn.edu.

Thanks,

Andy

StreamSage believes that our recent advancements, along with several
technological developments of the last few years, have for the first
time made possible the development of an intelligent system to bring
true interactivity to both streaming, digital media and television.
Such a system has the potential to completely revolutionize the
delivery of media - a proposition that has, not surprisingly,
attracted the attention of major on-line and off-line media companies
alike.

StreamSage is now recruiting for new positions within this exciting
effort.

Research positions are available immediately (starting date flexible).
Research focuses on time-based modeling of spoken language for the
purpose of automated digital media manipulation via intelligent,
adaptive algorithms, neural networks, rule-based frameworks, and
large-ontology interpretation.

Candidates should have a strong background in a variety of
computational linguistics techniques.  A sufficiently independent
spirit is necessary for use within a startup that develops
state-of-the-art technology.  Familiarity with Java is a plus.
Proficient knowledge of the English language is required.
Compensation is competitive, with full benefits and attractive
incentive package.

Please send resume, 2 recommendations, and representative publications
to the address listed below, or inquire with any questions or
comments.  E-mail inquiries and applications are encouraged.

Language & Computing nv (http://www.landc.be), active in multi-lingual
medical natural language understanding, has the following 2 positions
available:

Job 1: Computational Linguist/Programmer

We require a computational linguist with experience in Semantic
Analysis, to support the task of automatic syntactic/semantic analysis
using a wide-coverage grammar. The applicant should also have
experience in most of the following areas:

* Experienced in either functional formalisms (e.g., Systemic
Functional Linguistics) or dependency formalisms.
* Knowledge of Flemish (or other germanic languages) is a plus, but
not necessary.
* Experience with descriptive logics (KL-ONE, etc.) for semantic
analysis.
* Some programming experience is necessary, and experience with any of
C, C++, Lisp, or Java is an advantage (or a willingness to learn).

We are seeking candidates at the post-doctoral level, preferably with
project experience. Those without doctorate but with strong project
experience will also be considered. Renumeration will be in line with
experience.

Job 2: Linguist/Computational Linguist

We require a computational linguist (or computer-able linguist) to aid
in the development of a wide-coverage dependency grammar of Flemish.
Experience of either Systemic-Functional grammars, dependency
grammars, or lexicalised approaches (e.g., LTAGS, LFG) will be an
advantage. Some ability with Flemish is also preferred.

Applicants should have an undergraduate degree majoring in
Linguistics, or equivalent experience. Doctoral students and
post-doctoral researchers are also welcome to apply.  Renumeration
will be in line with experience.
