project VERBMOBIL funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education,

of the English-German bi-directional transfer database should meet a
significant subset of the following requirements:

	transfer

IIa (minimum of 60 000 DM per year). The initial contract for this
position is for three years, with the possibility of renewal for two
additional years. The duration of the contract and the possibility of
