The Applied Computational Linguistics group at Potsdam University (Germany)
offers a position in text summarization. This is a full-time job for 3
years, salary according to the German BAT-IIa-O scale. The project is part
of a larger network and involves collaboration with some Berlin-based
companies. Knowledge of German is an advantage but it can also be acquired
on-the-job.

The goal of the project is hybrid text summarization, first single-document,
later multi-document. Applicants should have
- strong interest in hybrid approaches to text processing
- background in XML-based document processing
- background in statistical analysis
- programming skills (including a suitable script language)
- (background in summarization is an advantage, naturally)

The project shall start soon - so be spontaneous and contact me asap.
