Requests for upcoming positions are posted here from time to time, at the moment we are recruiting Development for Dec 2011 and R&D for Aug 2012.
ME's interest in code and parsers began in the summer of 2005 at the Linguistic Society of America's Summer Institute where she attended a course by Ed Stabler from UCLA (among others). Since then she has complemented her theoretical linguistics course work with courses from Statistical Natural Language Processing and has completed her PhD at the University of Delaware with a dissertation grant funded by the National Science Foundation for her field work in Cusco, Peru on Quechua. Now she heads the morphological parsing team which expects to present its work at the 2012 MorphoChallenge.
Gina's first programming experience was in a high school summer project for Upward Bound at the University of Maine Math and Science Camp. She used Starlogo to model settlement formation using decentralized agents. Interested in decentralized systems she went on to study Linguistics. Her first Open Source project began with an Open Source Hittite Font for her team's final exam which she open sourced on Sourceforge in 2003. She worked in a couple of Montreal companies as a linguist in Phonetics (Perl) and Semantics (Python) and then traveled around the world (Pakistan, Korea, Czech Republic, Romania) eliciting data and writing scripts to extract morphemes in context. She received her Masters in Field Linguistics & DESS in Computer Science and has become an active contributor to projects on GitHub and on Google Code. She is currently integrating existing OpenSource libraries for Speech Recognition, Natural Language Processing, Eye Gaze analysis and Acoustic analysis into Android tablet applications. Along with her co-authors she has presented her prototypes at ETAP2 (Experimental and Theoretical Advances in Prosody) and at the Academy of Aphasia 49th Annual Meeting.

General Area: Software Engineering Specialty Areas: Natural Language Processing Description:The iLanguage Lab is pleased to announce a four month intern position for a student researcher currently in their Masters in Software Engineering. The candidate is expected to have prior experience in the GATE (General Architecture for Text Engineering) framework as well as familiarity with the Android Operating System, with relevant research in one of the following domains: service-oriented architecture, information extraction, automatic summarization or text mining.
The selected student will gain hands-on experience working with a cutting-edge research and development team, as well as an increased understanding of Natural Language Processing for mobile users. Besides working closely with field linguists and developers in a dynamic start-up environment, students will have the opportunity to receive training tailored to their needs and present their work at an end-of-session symposium.

iLanguage Lab is an interdisciplinary research and development organization at the intersection of Field Linguistics, Machine Learning and Software Engineering. This position is part of a three-year research programme 'Linguistic Interfaces' undertaken by the iLanguage Lab. The programme investigates the interaction between written text and spoken prosody using an iLanguage approach across language typologies. While written text is often generated through a careful thought process, spoken prosody is calculated over structures generated by the language faculty. The program will study the mapping of the two modules and their interaction across a diversity of language data collected using the Android OpenSource platform. The findings are integrated into Open Source libraries for productivity tools which adapt to the user's iLanguage.
To apply, please send CV, research project proposal (2 pages maximum), at least one recommendation letter and a motivation letter. Preference is given to applicants who have prior OpenSource scripting and/or familiarity with the Android platform.
