Description:
A position for a PostDoc (salary equivalent BAT IIa) is available in the NLP group at EML Research starting as soon as possible. Applications from highly motivated PhD students (salary equivalent BAT IIa/2) are also welcomed.
The successful candidate will be working in a project dealing with mining and creating lexical semantic resources for NLP applications. The goal of the project is to turn Wikipedia into a resource which can be effectively embedded into existing NLP applications.
Candidates should have a strong background in computational linguistics and possess a PhD, a Masters or a Diploma degree in either computational linguistics, computer science or linguistics. Knowledge about ontologies, including their formal properties and their use in NLP applications such as question answering, text summarization, information extraction or information retrieval is a plus. Strong programming skills (mainly in Java and Perl) are also required. The appointment will be initially for two years. An extension for another two years is possible subject to further funding.
EML Research gGmbH is a private non-profit research laboratory dedicated to basic and applied research in IT with a focus on bioinformatics and natural language processing. The NLP group is an interdisciplinary research group that works on applications in the area of discourse and dialogue. Our research interests include anaphora resolution, lexical semantics, text generation and automatic summarization (see http://www.eml-research.de/nlp).
