A linguistic analyst position is available at MNIS TextWise Labs, 
located in Syracuse, N.Y. TextWise conducts research and development 
of natural language processing software for information access and 
analytics. The analyst's responsibilities will be to maintain and 
improve linguistic representations for use in information retrieval 
and extraction applications. Tasks include analysis of text for 
linguistic patterns, the positing of rules and heuristics to extract 
those patterns, and the testing and validation of the rules. Analysts 
should enjoy working with text and be computer literate (PC or Unix). 
Candidates should have diverse linguistic interests, including syntax,
semantics and discourse. Qualifications include experience in 
linguistic research; a flexible approach to linguistic theory; working
knowledge of a second language; and a degree in linguistics or a 
closely related discipline. Practical experience with, or interest in,
natural language processing is assumed. TextWise is an equal 
opportunity employer and supports workforce diversity.
