The Information Technology Research Institute (ITRI) invites
applications for a three-year EPSRC studentship award to commence
in October 1998. The studentship will be awarded in one (or more)
of the following topics in Computational Linguistics:

    DOCUMENT GENERATION (including TEXT GENERATION): architectures;
    corpus analysis; diagrammatic reasoning; discourse; evaluation;
    hybrid generation; implementation; layout; multilinguality;
    multimodality; representation languages; pragmatics; tools

    LEXICONS: corpus analysis; evaluation; lexical statistics;
    lexicalized grammars; lexicography; lexicon induction from text;
    multilinguality; representation; tools; tuning; word sense
    disambiguation

    NATURAL LANGUAGE INTERFACES: dialogue; interface design

Applicants should have a good honours degree or equivalent in
Computer Science, Computational Linguistics or Linguistics.

EPSRC studentships are restricted to UK or EU residents. Residents
of the UK are eligible for fees and a maintenance allowance; other
EU residents are only eligible for fees (and so would need to be
able to support themselves during their studies).

The EPSRC baseline rate of maintenance allowance is currently
approx 5,295 pounds sterling per annum. For further general
information on EPSRC studentships, please consult
http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/in-depth/indpfram.htm.

Further information on the Institute's research programme can be
found on the ITRI home page (http://www.itri.brighton.ac.uk) and
information about students and how to apply on our research
students page (http://www.itri.brighton.ac.uk/students).

If we already have your application on file for consideration this
year, you do not need to apply again.

Deadline for applications: 30 April 1998
