                               RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIP

                             NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING

                            UNIVERSITY of MINNESOTA, DULUTH
                            DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE

    I am currently seeking a research assistant to work with me on corpus
    based approaches to natural language processing. In particular, we will
    focus on discovering word senses in very large corpora and from the web.

    You can get a very good introduction to the type of research you might
    carry out by checking into some of the work done by my current and
    previous students (http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/students.html).

    This position requires that you will have earned a Bachelor's degree in
    Computer Science, and that you be admitted to the M.S. program in
    Computer Science at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. Find out more
    about the program and its admissions requirements at:

    http://www.d.umn.edu/cs/degr/grad/mscs/

    Interested candidates should submit their applications to the M.S.
    program as soon as possible, certainly no later than March 1, 2004.

    This position starts in August 2004 and extends until May 2005, and is
    renewable for a second year (August 2005-May 2006). It provides a stipend
    of approximately $11,000 (US) per academic year, and includes a tuition
    waiver and health insurance. There is also the possibility of summer
    employment in 2005 and 2006.

    In your statement of educational and/or career objectives, please clearly
    mention your interest in this position, and also detail (as specifically
    as you can) why you feel both qualified and motivated to carry out
    corpus based research in Natural Language Processing.

    Send a copy of your statement to me via email (tpederse@d.umn.edu) as
    soon as possible. (Please remember that you must also include a copy of
    this in your application.)

    Please feel free to contact me if you need additional information.

    Cordially,
    Ted Pedersen
