Requirements: - Hands-on experience with grammar and parser development, particularly for large-scale production-quality NLP systems; - Knowledge of finite-state technology and rule-based and/or statistical parsing; - Strong background in syntax, including familiarity with a variety of grammar formalisms; - Either Masters in computational linguistics with work experience in NLP or PhD in computational linguistics.
Additional desirable attributes: - Comfortable working with Unix/Linux operating systems - Proficiency in scripting languages (Perl, Python) or programming languages, particularly C++ - Experience with lexicon and ontology development - Willingness to obtain security clearance
Candidates should be eligible to work in the US. Salary will be commensurate with education and experience. Janya also offers an attractive benefits package.
