    From: Suzanne Coleman <resourcemgtmsn.com>
    Subject: Computational Grammarian for French


    A Seattle area software company has an opening for a contract position (duration: approximately one year). The position pays between $40.00 and $50.00 per hour. Following is a description of the position:

    COMPUTATIONAL GRAMMARIAN for French

    This is a great opportunity to work with a dedicated group of researchers who are creating a system for unrestricted text understanding and generation.

    DESCRIPTION:

    An NLP group has developed a robust system for parsing French grammar; the first commercial use of this technology will be grammar checking software that will be built into a French word processor. A grammarian is needed to develop the computational rules for the grammar checking component of the system. The position is for one year, with a strong possibility of renewal.

    QUALIFICATIONS:

    The grammarian's qualifications must include an advanced degree in linguistics, or a closely related discipline; native proficiency in French; and some computational experience. Practical experience with a grammar checking application or other NLP implementation is highly desirable.

    Interested persons should e-mail a resume to Resource Management Services at: resourcemgtmsn.com. Or fax a resume to RMS-Linguist at 206/223-8227.
