Job Description:		Qwiki is a Silicon Valley-based start-up funded by thought leaders in the information retrieval space. We're looking for a team member versed in taxonomies for a long-term consulting relationship to help us build a hierarchical taxonomy classifying people, places, and things: telecommuting is OK. The position involves analyzing machine-generated categorization output and translating it into an efficient, human-readable format (i.e. consolidating thousands of categorical machine driven results into a set of 100 human classifications). Our team is fun to work with and you'll play a special role in the creation of what we believe to be an incredible improvement in the way the world gets its information. The position is perfect for a self-managed individual with 15-20 hours per week to dedicate to building our taxonomy from the ground up. Graduate credentials and industry experience preferred. Please submit resumes to the email address below with subject line 'Taxonomist'.
