One Research Associate is required for 24 months for an EC 6th
Framework Information Society Technologies collaborative project
entitled Bootstrapping of Ontologies and Terminologies. The project
aims at building reusable wide-coverage lexical, conceptual and
factual knowledge resources for the biology domain, to support text
mining. This involves both exploiting existing terminological
resources and automatically acquiring new terms and concepts and
associated linguistic information from the vast amount of literature.
The successful candidate will be part of the growing team of researchers
associated with both the National Centre for Text
Mining(http://www.nactem.ac.uk ) which is
hosted by the School of Computer Science and the Manchester
Interdisciplinary Biocentre (http://www.mib.ac.uk
).
Applicants should have a PhD or equivalent research experience in
Computer Science with emphasis in text mining or a related topic.
Candidates should preferably also have a good working knowledge of
natural language processing, machine learning techniques and ontologies.
Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Sophia Ananiadou, on +44
(0)161306 3092 or email Sophia.Ananiadou@manchester.ac.uk
