We seek candidates with established records of research excellence who are interested in working on topics at the interface of linguistic theory and computational modeling. The candidate's work should complement research interests of current faculty. Possible areas of interest include formal models of language learning or models of the lexicon, syntactic or semantic components that can be applied to computational problems such as automatic acquisition of lexicons, parsing grammars, or semantic interpreters or the implementation of these components for single language or cross linguistic applications. Teaching experience is also desirable. Ph.D. is required by August, 1996. For best consideration, applications should arrive by February 1, 1996. Applicants should send a complete dossier (letter of application, CV, samples of published work) and arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to: Professor Stephen Crain Computational Linguistics Search Committee University of Maryland at College Park 1401 Marie Mount Hall College Park, MD 20742 The University of Maryland is a AA/EO Title IX employer. Women and minority candidates are especially encouraged to apply. ====================================================================== Topic 3: Subject: UMIACS Post Doctoral Positions Date: Thu, 11 Jan 1996 12:09:42 -0500 From: Theresa UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND: UMIACS POST DOCTORAL POSITIONS College Park, MD The University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS) invites applications for post doctoral positions, beginning summer/fall '96 in the following areas: Real-time Video Indexing, Natural Language Processing, and Neural Modeling. Exceptionally strong candidates from other areas will also be considered. UMIACS, a state-supported research unit, has been the focal point for interdisciplinary and applications-oriented research activities in computing on the College Park campus. The Institute's 40 faculty members conduct research in high performance computing, software engineering, artificial intelligence, systems, combinatorial algorithms, scientific computing, and computer vision. Qualified applicants should send a 1 page statement of research interest, curriculum vita and the names and addresses of 3 references to: Prof. Joseph Ja'Ja' UMIACS A.V. Williams Building University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742 by April 1. UMIACS strongly encourages applications from minorities and women.
