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.

The work will be conducted in collaboration with IBM Research laboratories and will be focused on the area of Natural Language Processing for Risk Management. The project involves the automatic identification of risk factors from text, understanding of their mutual dependence and identification of related probabilistic information. It is part of a wider IBM project on Risk Management. The candidate will be required to work both in DCU and in IBM campus in Dublin. The successful candidate will have a PhD in Computer Science, preferably in the areas of natural language processing or information retrieval. In particular, we are looking for candidates with a proven track record in areas such as: - relation mining - information extraction - named entity recognition - chunking and parsing - lexical semantics Given the application domain, basic knowledge of probability is required and advanced understanding of risk modeling certainly a plus. The candidate should have a capacity for independent research and will be happy to work in a collaborative research environment. The two year award will be co-funded by IRCSET and IBM through IRCSET's Enterprise Partnership Scheme. Further details on the Enterprise Partnership Scheme can be found at http://www.ircset.ie/tabid/58/default.aspx To apply please send a CV with at least two references to Deirdre Hogan (dhogancomputing.dcu.ie) and Jennifer Foster (jfostercomputing.dcu.ie). Applicants must meet IRCSET's eligibility criteria and will be assessed independently by IRCSET.
