The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity, nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we have no means of enforcing these standards. Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Job Description:
The School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh invites applications
for the post of research fellow on the project 'Statistical Models of
Text-to-Text Generation and their Role in Practical Applications', funded by the
EPSRC. The project will design and implement novel algorithms and techniques for
text rewriting for a number of key text-to-text generation applications. The
project's aim is to develop a general modeling framework for capturing
alternative ways of conveying the same information at the sentence and document
level.
The position is suitable for a candidate with a PhD in computational
linguistics, computer science, or a related discipline. The successful applicant
will have strong programming skills and experience with natural language
processing techniques (e.g., language modeling, alignment methods, vector-space
models, finite state methods, corpus processing, evaluation, statistical
generation). Experience with lexicon acquisition and/or summarisation is also
desirable. He or she will be responsible for developing and testing
computational models for text rewriting, and for developing methods for the
automatic construction of redundancy-rich corpora. The starting date will be 01
February 2006, or as soon as possible thereafter.
Informal inquiries can be made by email to Mirella Lapata (mlapinf.ed.ac.uk).
