The Department for Computational Linguistics offers a rich and stimulating
research environment: It participates with several projects in the Collaborative
Research Center (CRC) 991 funded by the DFG, http://www.sfb991.uni-
duesseldorf.de/en/sfb991/. The CRC is a large collection of research projects;
it focusses on the structure of representations in language, cognition and
science with a particular emphasis on frames and on lexical semantics.
Besides the CRC projects there is also a project on parsing and machine
translation, http://www.phil-fak.uni-duesseldorf.de/beyond-cfg/.
Salary is on the German scale TV-L E13. The position is for two years. The
