    There are immediate job openings at NEC Research Institute in Princeton NJ. Enclosed below is the formal job announcement. We currently have a small group or circle of people - including myself, David Lebeaux, and Piroska Csuri - who are working on linguistics and computation. Since we're seeking to expand and strengthen this area of research, I'd like to encourage linguists who have an interest in computational issues to apply.
