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

The School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh invites

break away from the sentence extraction paradigm. The overall aim is to
utilize global inference algorithms for the summarization task and
demonstrate their superiority over traditional local optimization methods.
The position is suitable for a candidate with a PhD in Natural Language
Processing, computer science, mathematics, or a related discipline. The
successful applicant will have strong programming skills and experience
with natural language processing techniques and machine learning.
Experience with summarization and/or optimization methods is also
desirable. He or she will be responsible for developing summarization
models (both extractive and abstractive) within a global inference
framework evaluation and for their evaluation. The starting date will be 01
September 2008, or as soon as possible thereafter.
