    Faculty Opening

    Stanford Universitys Departments of Linguistics and Computer Science seek applicants for a tenure-track faculty position in areas combining linguistics and computation. Candidates will be expected to show breadth and depth in both areas and to demonstrate the ability to make an intellectual contribution to both linguistics and computer science. Example topics of interest include, but are not limited to, natural language dialog processing and understanding, development and evaluation of linguistic methods using large speech and text databases, speech recognition, computational modeling of cognitive processing of language, lexical knowledge bases, symbolic and statistical methods of language processing, and linguistic knowledge representation. Interest in an application area, such as information retrieval, data mining, or web services is desirable. Higher priority will be given to the innovation and promise of the candidates work than to any of these specific topics and applications.

    Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a relevant field. Evidence of the ability to pursue a research program and a strong commitment to graduate and undergraduate teaching are required. The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses, both in the candidates specialty area and in related subjects, at the graduate and undergraduate levels, and to build and lead a team of graduate students in Ph.D. research.

    The appointment will be made at the level of an Assistant Professor. The position is available beginning Autumn 1999 and is offered jointly in the Linguistics and Computer Science Departments. Further information about these departments can be found at http://www-linguistics.stanford.edu and http://www-cs.stanford.edu, respectively.

    Applications should include a curriculum vita, statements of research and teaching interests and the names of five references. The application should be sent to:

    Professor John Mitchell, Search Committee Chair c/o Laura Kenny-Carlson Computer Science Department Stanford University Gates 2B Stanford, CA 94305-9025

    The interview process will begin on January 15, 1999, but applications will be accepted until February 15, 1999. Stanford University is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applications from women and minority candidates.
