Job: Senior Research Officer (University of Essex)

Applications are invited for a 18-month fixed-term post on the AnaWiki 
research project funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences 
Research Council (EPSRC). The project will involve using the enthusiasm 
of Web surfers for projects such as ‘Wikipedia' to create data that can 
be used to train natural language processing (NLP) algorithms. This 
builds on our work on creating annotated resources for anaphora (e.g., 
in the EPSRC-funded ARRAU project, of which the project is a direct 
continuation) and on our experience with building web-based applications 
and attracting subjects to experimental websites.

Candidates should be graduates of computer science or computational 
linguistics and be in possession of a postgraduate degree or equivalent 
experience in natural language engineering. Applicants must have a 
strong background in developing Web applications and ideally have some 
experience with corpus creation and maintenance, Semantic wikis, user 
interfaces and/or anaphora resolution. The successful candidate would be 
expected to work closely with the two investigators and must possess 
excellent verbal and written communication skills.

Appointment to this full-time, fixed-term post will be from 1 November 
2007 or as soon as possible thereafter, until 30 April 2009, and made 
either on the scale for Research Officers £25,134-£27,466 per annum, or 
on the scale for Senior Research Officers, within the range 
£27,466-£28,289 per annum.

Further informal enquiries about this post may be made to Dr Massimo 
Poesio (e-mail: [email protected]) or Dr Udo Kruschwitz (e-mail: 
[email protected]). Further details: http://www.jobs.ac.uk/jobs/YW780/
