The Computational Linguistics group at the University of Maryland
seeks an energetic, highly motivated individual for a postdoctoral
position. We are a strongly interdisciplinary group, with faculty
members from three departments (computer science, linguistics, and
information studies) that work closely together with a team of about
15 research scientists, postdoctoral researchers and graduate
students. We seek candidates who are comfortable with statistical and
corpus-based natural language processing, knowledge based techniques
(particularly those involving ontologies and lexicons), and/or the
design of information retrieval systems. Of particular interest are
candidates with interest and expertise in cross-language information
retrieval, machine translation, broad-coverage parsing, use of
comparable and parallel corpora, and development of large-scale
lexicons. Strong programming skills are essential.

Our team will be well represented at the NAACL conference in Seattle
this week. You can speak with us there, or get in touch with us after
the conference by sending mail (with a resume) to Edna Walker
<ednacs.umd.edu>.
