The Division of Computational Linguistics in the Dept. of Linguistics
at the University of Tuebingen, Germany is seeking applications for a
one-year postdoctoral (or predoctoral) position to work in the area of

language processing and/or machine learning. The position is available
immediately.

This position is sponsored by the European Commission: Training and
Mobility of Researchers (TMR) and is part of the project ``Extending
Computational Grammars by Learning'', coordinated by Prof. John
Nerbonne at the University of Groningen. The successful candidate will
be expected to interact with the postdoctoral researchers at the other

University of Antwerp, University College Dublin, ISSCO Geneva and
Rank Xerox Grenoble. For details of the project see:

Postdoctoral positions: 

The postdoc must be 35 or younger (with some allowance for child care

accept the position. They further may not be a citizen of the country
in which they accept the award. Details of the TMR program may be
found at:
