Computer Specialist: Natural Language Processing and Knowledge Based

The Computing Research Laboratory of New Mexico State University has
openings for a staff scientist in the area of natural language
processing and/or knowledge-based systems. The successful candidate
will join a CRL team in one or more of the current research projects
at the lab, such as Expedition, Mikrokosmos, Corelli, MINDS or Keizai
and will also be expected to participate in developing new research
directions. His or her duties will involve design and implementation
of components of language processing applications, management of small
software development teams, publication of research results and
participation in fund-raising activities.

The ideal candidate must have a Ph.D. in computer science or
computational linguistics and be a highly skilled and enthusiastic
programmer. He or she must have experience working in a team that

theoretical and engineering approaches (such as grammar formalisms or
software environments). Salary will be commensurate with credentials
and experience. Please send a resume, the names of at least three
referees and a statement of purpose to Sergei Nirenburg
