    The Department of Translation and Philology at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona, Spain, offers a research position in Computational Linguistics and Machine Translation within the "Ramon y Cajal" program.

    Ramon y Cajal is a program sponsored by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology (MCYT) the aim of which is to attract international researchers to Spanish universities and other research centres for an initial period of four years. The application and selection processes are handled directly by MCYT. Applicants must have a PhD, present a high-level research program and obtain the endorsement of the research unit they wish to join. Applications are reviewed by specific committees in each field. The position in the Department of Translation and Philology will be filled by the department-endorsed candidate that obtains the highest mark in the MCYT-rum evaluation.

    For more information, see the official page of the program in the MCYT Web site: http://www.mcyt.es/cajal/

    The Department of Translation and Philology at UPF is looking for a researcher in Computational Linguistics and Machine Translation who is able to: - lead projects in the area of grammar development and parsing - to program practical applications - lead discussions of state-of-the art research in the field - interact both with linguists and computer scientists in a truly interdisciplinary research context - supervise PhD students - keep a balance between basic and applied research

    The Department of Translation and Philology participates in "The Communication Station", a major research initiative at UPF in the area of Coomunication and Technology, in collaboration with faculty in the Departments of Computer Science and Audiovisual Studies.

    The successful candidate is also expected to participate in the graduate and undegraduate programs in the area of language and multilingual communication in which the Department of Translation and Philology is involved.

    The Department will endorse only those candidates with suitable research profiles.
