The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to engage in non-discriminatory hiring practices. We urge employers not to discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, 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.

Description:
Postdoctoral research fellow : Text data mining applied to heterogeneous and
multilingual corpora
We offer a 12 months postdoc position in text data mining within the 10-year
LABEX project 'Empirical foundations of linguistics' (LABEX EFL) that started
in 2011. The position is based in Paris, at the UMR SEDYL (CNRS-INALCO-
IRD). It is linked to the strand «Typology and dynamics of linguistic
systems» of this project, and more specifically to the research programme
supervised by Isabelle Léglise: Multifactorial Analysis of language contact &
language changes (LC1).
The candidate should have a PhD in computational linguistics/computer
science, and should be an expert in the field of data mining, preferably on a
linguistic field of application (text mining, natural language processing)
involving large-dimension data/texts. The candidate should have experience
of XML format. A knowledge of TEI standards will be a plus. S/he must know
how to program in C language; C ++ or Java. S/he will use the relational
model of databases and the SQL language; knowledge of MySQL is an
advantage. An interest for linguistic diversity is a good point.
This task consists in developing functions of search/data mining applied to
language contact corpora, that is to transcriptions of non-homogeneous and
mixed verbal productions collected in multilingual areas (38 languages from
all continents involved). This scenario is traditionally little taken into account
by the algorithms of computational linguistics (grammatical inference or
lexical labeling). We expect to find correlations of certain categories, or
certain syntactical positions, with language contact or language change
phenomena.
Given the large number of variables to be analyzed, with regard to the size of
the corpus (large number of samples), we will need to explore approaches in
data dimensionality reduction such as 'manifold learning'.
Duration: 12 months, starting December 2011 or January 2012. It is a full-
time position
Salary: 24 000 EUR/year

of application and the names of two referents to:
Isabelle Léglise (leglisevjf.cnrs.fr), Pascal Vaillant (vaillantvjf.cnrs.fr) &
