 R&D Opportunities

Within the framework of the EUROLANG project (100 Million ECU),
jointly managed by SITE, the European leader in multilingual,
multimedia technical documentation, and SIEMENS NIXDORF, one of
the major European corporations in the field of computer
technology, we are recruiting:

- Computational linguists with practical experience in writing computational
 grammars and dictionaries (for English, German and French).

- Computational linguists with practical experience in the following fields:
 . Machine translation
 . Parsers / Generators
 . Corpus analysis / Sublanguage methodologies / Terminology

Successful candidates will be based in Paris, France, at the R&D offices
of SITE. Several posts are available. Salaries shall be commensurate with
experience.

Applicants should have a good first degree and post-graduate
qualifications (or appropriate experience) in relevant fields, and should
preferably have good experience of relevant project work in industry or
academia. Experience of multilingual natural language processing would be
a distinct advantage.

EUROLANG is a EUREKA project involving a large European consortium of
major IT companies and well-known research institutes. Emphasis in the
project will be on the development of a commercial machine translation system,
appropriate support tools and large-scale linguistic resources, using
state-of-the-art technology. Thus, preference will be given to candidates
offering practical experience in the field and a commitment to working in an
industrial R&D environment.

Letters of application, including 2 copies of a Curriculum Vitae and the
names of two referees, should be sent to:
