    - University degree in linguistics or computational linguistics - Practical experience in machine translation with emphasis on transfer - Research experience in English-German contrastive linguistics - Solid background in semantics and computational linguistics - Native or near-native competence of English and German

The initial contract for this position is for three years, with the possibility of renewal for two additional years. The duration of the contract and the possibility of renewal are independent of the Verbmobil project, because MT is one of the longterm research aims at IMS.
