	RESEARCH FELLOW IN NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING R&D

The Human Communication Research Centre at the University of Edinburgh
wishes to hire an experienced researcher with expertise in bringing
together rule-based and statistical approaches to natural language
processing. Applicants should have a strong track record of research
in this area, and a willingness to initiate and manage projects which
develop and apply hybrid technologies for language engineering. An
interest in collaborating with our ongoing work on human sentence
processing would also be desirable.

The ideal candidate will hold a PhD degree in Computer Science,
Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, Cognitive Science or a related
discipline and will have experience in the development and
implementation of state-of-the-art natural language processing
algorithms.  

The successful candidate will be hired on the Grade 1A or Grade 2
researcher scale (up to 25,735 pounds/annum), depending on age and
experience. The post is funded for a period of three years
initially, starting in April 1995 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Candidates should send a copy of their CV, a statement of past and present
research interests and work experience, and the names of two referees
before October 20th to
	The University of Edinburgh 
	Personnel Office
