The Division of Computational Linguistics in the Dept. of Linguistics at the University of Tuebingen, Germany is searching for two theoretical or computational linguists to work in a project of the Sonderforschungsbereich 340 ``Theoretische Grundlagen der Computerlinguistik''. The project is concerned with the development, formalization, and implementation of a large syntax fragment for German in combination with a constraint logic programming language for this purpose. It continues the work carried out in the projects B4 and B8, cf., http://www.sfs.nphil.uni-tuebingen.de/sfb/ Applicants should have either one of the following qualifications: 1. strong background in the syntax of German, good knowledge of HPSG, and an interest in the formalization and implementation of a large German syntax fragment. 2. intimate knowledge of the theory and implementation of constraint resolution and an interest in applying this knowledge to the linguistic domain of constraints on word order. The positions are at the rank of "Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter" (M.A. or Ph.D. required). The salary is on the German payscale of BAT IIa/2 (with M.A. in hand) or BATIIa (with Ph.D. in hand). The positions are funded for three years (until December 2000). Applications should include CV, an outline of research experience/interests, and names and addresses of two referees. A sample publication representative of the applicant's research expertise would be helpful. Applications should be sent by mail or email to the address below. Those received by January 31st, 1998 will receive full consideration, although interviews may start at any time. Dale Gerdemann and Erhard W. Hinrichs Seminar fuer Sprachwissenschaft, Abt.
