H5 Technologies has developed a patented information retrieval
technology that replicates human judgments about the subject matter
relevance, or 'aboutness', of email, documents, and other textual
information. H5 and its partners are applying this novel technology to
the needs of large-scale document management in complex litigation and
military intelligence.
H5 Linguists work closely with research analysts and document
reviewers on a 6 to 8 person project team, playing an active role in
all aspects of a client engagement. Responsibilities include: rapidly
developing an understanding of new fields; reading a wide variety of
documents, from email to academic articles; synthesizing large amounts
of information into a coherent picture of the community that produced
and used it; researching factual issues in complex litigation;
interviewing subject matter experts; analyzing linguistic data;
researching large corpora for linguistic patterns; identifying and
modeling processes and relationships in a community; designing,
building, and testing H5's unique and proprietary knowledge bases.
Qualifications include:
· Solid academic credentials: graduate-level coursework in linguistics
preferred.
· Demonstrated understanding of role of syntax in language.
· Experience applying linguistic expertise to real language data -
experience in Corpus Analysis, Text Analysis, Conversational
Analysis, or Computational Linguistics a plus.
· An interest in researching and modeling another community's
structure and the interests, goals, and constraints that shape the
actions of members of that community -- experience in ethnography or
anthropology a plus.
· Leadership skills, personal incentive and a demonstrated ability to
initiate, develop, and successfully conclude projects.
· A sharp eye for detail, precise thinking, ability to make close,
analytical judgments, and a practiced sense of order and
organization.
· Ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines, both autonomously
and collaboratively.
· Experience in a software development environment a plus.
· Basic computer and software compentency in a PC/Windows environment,
including Microsoft Office application. Basic familiarity with Unix
and PERL -- programming skills a plus.
What we offer:
· The opportunity to use linguistic interests and skills in a way you
never imagined -- namely, developing what some of the top people in
the field have called "a revolutionary breakthrough of the first
magnitude."
· An exciting, fast-paced entrepreneurial work environment;
· A fun and supportive team;
· Compensation commensurate with experience
