APPLICANTS: Please send CV to dhorowitz@voxgeneration.com addressed to
David Horowitz, Chief Scientist

In this position, you will assist in assisting the Chief Scientist in
building up resources to establish a strong R&D group. You will help
write components of grants and help define theoretical approaches
towards conversational dialogue systems. The focus of the work is on
Natural Language Parsing and Unified Language Modelling.
This is a highly technical position in mathematics and computer science
and hence not appropriate for candidates with pure linguistics
background, although computational linguists with strong quantitative
skills are sought. The R&D department collaborates with Professor Yorick
Wilks at the University of Sheffield and the position will afford the
candidate mentorship from key researchers at Wilks' Natural Language
Processing Group.
Qualifications: Ph.D. in rigorous quantitative program such as Computer
Science, Mathematical Computational Linguistics, Artificial
Intelligence, Machine Learning, Mathematics, Physics or Electrical
Engineering.
Skills: Hands-on software development experience in Java and/or C++.
Perl required.
