The speech and natural language group at Canon Research Centre Europe
(CRE) are looking for a researcher and a software engineer to join
their NLP team.

We work on NLP technology for a number of different applications, with
a focus on information retrieval and interactive spoken language
interfaces. We are also developing medium and large vocabulary
continuous speech recognition software.

Canon, currently celebrating its 60th anniversary, has 70,000
employees worldwide and is an acknowledged world-leader in many
markets, including cameras, photocopiers and printers. Constant
innovation underlies Canon's success and at CRE you will have the
opportunity to play a large part in this. We also offer an excellent
working environment and a highly competitive salary and benefits
package.

We are looking for outstanding people who are self-motivated, have an
ability to learn quickly and an interest in exploring new avenues.
We have the following requirements.

Research role:

 Someone with excellent programming skills and significant
 relevant experience in one or more areas of NLP. Experience of
 building real systems is highly desirable.

Software engineering role:

 Excellent programming skills in a variety of languages and
 experience of constructing large robust software systems are
 required. Experience in an area of NLP would be an advantage,
 but is not essential.
