    We are looking for people who are fascinated by the systematic encoding of information patterns in natural and artificial languages. You will design parts of the Cognitive Modality(tm) search engine after you gain experience with the detailed encoding, testing, and documentation of the established program. We encourage applications from linguists, cognitive scientists, and information scientists, particularly from those among you who display exceptional skills in such fields as lexicography, discourse analysis, (case) frames, and game design.

    English fluency is required (native or otherwise), and a strong candidate will display equally strong critical writing skills. A general familiarity with language systems other than English is essential, and although multilingual fluency is not required for a position on the CM(tm) team, it will be regarded favorably. Your computer literacy should be, at the very least, broad if not deep, covering a variety of operating systems, programming languages, and formal methodologies.

    You will need to become proficient in the use of the Microsoft Office suite of products (e.g. Word, Access, Project, Excel, and Outlook)*. Any existing familiarity you might have with these programs will naturally count in your favor.

    Finally, your temperament must blend in well with that of the existing team.

    It should be noted that we would consider both conventional and alternative measures of experience.

    Applications will be accepted by mail or email, sent to:

    Tracy C. Mansfield International Neural Machines, Inc. 175 Columbia Street West, Suite 203 Waterloo, Ontario, N2L 5Z5 CANADA tmansfieineural.com

    NOTE: Recent graduates should also include a copy of their transcripts along with their cover letter and rsum.
