Department of Computational Linguistics is recognized as one of the
leading institutes in the field worldwide. It cooperates closely with
the Departments of Computer Science and Cognitive Psychology, the
German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), and the
Max-Planck-Institute for Computer Science. The Department maintains
worldwide cooperations and research contacts to academic and 
industrial institutions. 

The University of the Saarland is an equal opportunity
