    POST IN TEXT MINING - BOOTSTRAPPING OF ONTOLOGIES AND TERMINOLOGIES -
    University of Manchester, School of Informatics
     
    One Research Associate is required for an EC 6th Framework Information
    Society Technologies collaborative project entitled Bootstrapping of
    Ontologies and Terminologies. The project aims at building reusable
    wide-coverage lexical, conceptual and factual knowledge resources for the
    biology domain, to support text mining. This involves both exploiting
    existing terminological resources and automatically acquiring new terms and
    concepts and associated linguistic information from the vast amount of
    literature.

    The main functions of the post are to contribute to meeting the
    deliverables of the project work plan in relevant aspects of
    natural language processing, text mining, machine learning, terminology
    and ontological engineering.

    The successful candidate will be part of the growing team of
    researchers associated with both the National Centre for Text Mining
    (http://www.nactem.ac.uk) which is hosted by the School of Informatics
    and the Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre (http://www.mib.ac.uk).

    Applicants should have a PhD or equivalent research experience in
    Computer Science with emphasis in text mining or a related topic.
    Candidates should also have a good working knowledge of natural language
    processing, machine learning techniques and ontologies.

    Duration of post: 2 years from 1st April or ASAP after this date.

    Informal enquiries should be made to Dr Sophia Ananiadou, on +44 (0)161
    306 3092 or email Sophia.Ananiadou@manchester.ac.uk
