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 at http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been
set up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

University or Organization: Université de Montréal
Department: OLST/Linguistique et traduction
Web Address: http://www.olst.umontreal.ca
Job Rank: Post Doc
Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics
Required Language(s): English (eng)
Description:
This paid postdoctoral position is part of the SACOT project
(Semi-Automatic Construction of Ontologies from Texts), which involves two
research teams : the Observatoire de linguistique Sens-Texte (OLST,
http://www.olst.umontreal.ca/) of the University of Montreal and the
Knowledge Management group of Defense R&D Canada (Valcartier, Québec,
Canada). Launched in July 2006, this project will be underway until
2009. The planned duration of the internship is 12 months (with possible
extensions).
The SACOT research project's main objectives consist of investigating,
developing and validating innovative natural language processing (NLP)
approaches as scientific means to, first, capture knowledge conveyed in
texts using domain-specific terminology and, secondly, to represent this
knowledge in ontologies. Corpora used for the SACOT project are written in
English and deal with domains of interest for military operations and
intelligence analysis. The project will investigate and develop automated
terminology extraction techniques, conceptual relations identification
methods as well as ontology construction techniques.
Requirements
- Ph.D. in linguistics, computational linguistics or computer science.
- Working knowledge of terminology and term extraction
techniques, good knowledge of ontologies as well as an expertise in
conceptual relations extraction from corpora.
- Available for a period of 12 months starting January 2007.
- Research experience in a relevant area.
- Excellent understanding of written English as well as fluency in French.
E-mail a full résumé with three names to be used as references.
