COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS POSITION

DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICS
THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY

The Ohio State University Department of Linguistics
announces a new position, pending final budgetary
approval, for a tenure-track Assistant Professor with
a specialization in Computational Linguistics,
beginning with the Autumn quarter of 1995.

Preference will be given to those applicants
(1) whose computational research program will
complement and strengthen the Department's
theoretical research programs in syntax, semantics, and
formal pragmatics; (2) who display a broad computational
expertise, including the theory of computation, the
computational implementation, testing and further
development of linguistic theories, and the hands-on
skills involved in system-building at all levels; (3) who
have an established research record, as demonstrated by
publications, natural language systems, and the like,
that provides strong evidence of a capacity to
advance linguistic theory through computational
research, and (4) who give evidence of
relevant teaching ability. The successful candidate
must have a Ph. D. by the time of the appointment.
The salary for this position will be competitive.

The primary duties of this position are: doing research
in computational linguistics; teaching introductory
courses and seminars in computational linguistics,
and related courses at all levels; playing a central role
in the further development of the Department's
computational linguistics curriculum and computational
research facilities; advising students and directing
graduate student research in computational linguistics
and its interaction with other related areas in
linguistic theory; and performing service duties as
required by the department, the College of
Humanities, and the University.

The cutoff date for receipt of applications is
December 12, 1994. Applicants should send a
curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and
up to five examples of publications or system
documentation and should arrange for three letters
of recommendation to be sent to:

Post of Research Assistant

We are seeking a suitable candidate to work on one or more of the
projects funded by the European Commission within the MLAP
Programme (Multilingual Action Plan). The post is to start as soon
as possible, and is initially until July 1995 with a possible
extension depending on funding.

The main task will be to work on English analysis and synthesis
grammars for Machine Translation, but there may be other tasks such
as writing HPSG-style linguistic specifications and testing and
evaluation of MT systems, depending on the successful candidate's
background.

Applicants should have postgraduate qualifications in linguistics or
computational linguistics, and should ideally have experience with
writing computational grammars within a unification-based formalism.
Native or near-native knowledge of English is essential. Knowledge
of German or head-driven phrase structure grammar (HPSG) would be an
advantage.

Salary will be between 13941 and 20953 sterling per annum, depending on
age and experience. UMIST is an equal opportunities employer.

Please address informal enquiries as well as applications,
including full curriculum vitae and the names of two referees,
as soon as possible to:
