 RESEARCH STUDENTSHIP IN NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING

 The department seeks to recruit a postgraduate student
 to start in January 1995 in the area of natural
 language processing, preferably in lexicon construction,
 or computational pragmatics or semantics.


 Candidates should have a good honours degree in a relevant
 discipline (not necessarily Computer Science), and preferably some
 NLP experience. The award is for three years and is at the standard
 rate (just under 5K pounds a year) but there may be opportunities for
 additional income within the university's regulations on graduate
student
 employment. A brochure on the work of the NLP group can be
 obtained from lizdcs.sheffield.ac.uk.

 Enquiries and applications should be addressed to:

 Professor Yorick Wilks, Director of Research,
 phone +44(0)114-282 5563,
 email yorickdcs.sheffield.ac.uk

COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS POSITION

DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICS
THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY

The Ohio State University Department of Linguistics
announces a new position, pending final budgetary
approval, for a tenure-track Assistant Professor with
a specialization in Computational Linguistics,
beginning with the Autumn quarter of 1995.

Preference will be given to those applicants
(1) whose computational research program will
complement and strengthen the Department's
theoretical research programs in syntax, semantics, and
formal pragmatics; (2) who display a broad computational
expertise, including the theory of computation, the
computational implementation, testing and further
development of linguistic theories, and the hands-on
skills involved in system-building at all levels; (3) who
have an established research record, as demonstrated by
publications, natural language systems, and the like,
that provides strong evidence of a capacity to
advance linguistic theory through computational
research, and (4) who give evidence of
relevant teaching ability. The successful candidate
must have a Ph. D. by the time of the appointment.
The salary for this position will be competitive.

The primary duties of this position are: doing research
in computational linguistics; teaching introductory
courses and seminars in computational linguistics,
and related courses at all levels; playing a central role
in the further development of the Department's
computational linguistics curriculum and computational
research facilities; advising students and directing
graduate student research in computational linguistics
and its interaction with other related areas in
linguistic theory; and performing service duties as
required by the department, the College of
Humanities, and the University.

The cutoff date for receipt of applications is
December 12, 1994. Applicants should send a
curriculum vitae, statement of research interests, and
up to five examples of publications or system
documentation and should arrange for three letters
of recommendation to be sent to:
