(LRE).

The ideal applicant should have a degree in computer science, a good
knowledge of English, be skilled in the C programming language, and should

environment.  Experience in artificial intelligence or natural language
processing would be an advantage, as would experience of working in a group.

The tasks involve work on preparation of large bodies of natural language
texts (corpora), programming of tools for analysis of such corpora,
programming of user-interfaces, and writing of periodic reports.  This work
involves active collaboration with researchers from other groups
participating in the project.

The position has a foreseen duration of two years and should start as soon
as possible.  The salary, which depends on experience and qualifications,
will be according to the University of Geneva assistant scale.

ISSCO was established in 1972 in Lugano (Switzerland) by the Fondazione
Dalle Molle.  Since 1976, ISSCO has been attached to the University of
Geneva, and has links with the Department of Computer Science, the Faculty
of Arts, and the School of Translation and Interpretation.  Research at
ISSCO has concentrated on various aspects of artificial intelligence and
natural language processing.  Machine translation and, more generally,
multi-lingual tools are a special interest of the research team.

Applications should be in writing and should include a CV and the names and
addresses of two referees.  Closing date for applications is the 21st of
January 1994, and they should be sent to:
