    The Unit Advanced Techniques for Information Analysis (ATIA) at the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) in Ispra, Italy is looking for a skilled computational linguist / programmer to work on document clustering, automatic indexing and subject domain recognition for the period June 1998 to May 1999 (twelve months).

    Besides the implementation of a prototype document clustering system, which will eventually be turned into a workable system and should run on WindowsNT, the new group member will help with the integration of linguistic tools and resources such as lemmatisers, dictionaries and thesauri.

    The remuneration will be approximately 4.5 Million Lira / month net (equivalent to ca. 2.250 ECU or 4.500 DM or 15.000 FF or 1.500 GBP) for an Italian national, or 16% more for nationals of other EU member states.

    Candidates should have the following skills:

    * Good programming skills and experience in a programming language suitable to build the prototype document clustering system such as PERL, C++ or C; Knowledge of Prolog, AWK, Visual C++, Visual Basic or Java would be a plus. * Knowledge of WindowsNT and UNIX. * Good working knowledge of English and the ability to write reports in English; knowledge of French; German and Italian would be a plus. * Previous experience with systems for word or document clustering would be a plus. * Self-motivation, flexibility, team spirit and good communication skills. * EU member state nationality.

    The Joint Research Centre (JRC) and Ispra

    As the corporate research centre of the European Commission, the JRC maintains a neutral and impartial status which has led to the development of activities in the areas of certification, standardisation and accreditation. The Ispra site of the JRC employs approximately 1800 people and is thus the biggest of the five JRC sites in Europe. Its staff engage in a variety of scientific areas, including the Environment, Space Applications, Advanced Materials and Systems Safety. The JRC has more than 800 partners involved in more than 140 collaboration agreements with national research organisations, universities and private industry. The high-level research and the multi-disciplinary and multi-national ambience at the centre attract visiting scientists and students from all over the world.

    The activities of the unit Advanced Techniques for Information Analysis comprise, among others: support to the Commission's anti-fraud unit in the Directorate General (UCLAF) and to the Statistical Office of the EC (EUROSTAT); development of European databases; image compression and analysis; 3-D imaging; information retrieval; information processing for the fight against fraud; handling of large amounts of data; multimedia systems.

    Ispra is situated at the South end of the lake 'Lago Maggiore' in Northern Italy and is surrounded by mountains as well as several other lakes, being therefore an ideal starting point for many different outdoors activities. The multi-national community working at the centre is engaged in a large variety of cultural and sports activities offering over thirty sports clubs and interest groups. Ispra is approximately an hour's drive from Milano (1 hour from Milano Linate airport and 1/2 hour from Milano Malpensa airport).

    Interested candidates should send a CV with a covering letter and two references to the address below. Applications by fax or by email in plain text or with attachment in Microsoft Word or LaTeX format would be preferred.
