---------------------------------------------------------------------

The Institute for Natural Language Processing (IMS), University of
Stuttgart, Germany, is looking for a talented linguist to join our
Machine Translation group.

The offered position is part of the speech-to-speech translation
project VERBMOBIL funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education,
Science, Research and Technology (BMBF).

The candidate who will be responsible for the encoding and maintenance
of the English-German bi-directional transfer database should meet a
significant subset of the following requirements:

- University degree in linguistics or computational linguistics  
- Practical experience in machine translation with emphasis on transfer
- Research experience in English-German contrastive linguistics
- Solid background in semantics and computational linguistics 
- Native or near-native competence of English and German 

The position is at the rank of "Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter" (M.A.
or equivalent required). The salary is on the German pay scale of BAT
IIa (minimum of 60 000 DM per year). The initial contract for this
position is for three years, with the possibility of renewal for two
additional years. The duration of the contract and the possibility of
renewal are independent of the Verbmobil project, because MT is one of
the longterm research aims at IMS.

Applications should include CV and an outline of research and teaching
experience/interests. Names and addresses of references would be
helpful. Applications should be sent by mail or email until May 1st,
1998, to
