******************************************************************

LCG (Learning Computational Grammars) is a research network
shortlisted for funding by the EC Training and Mobility of
Researchers programme (TMR).  LCG's contract is currently being
negotiated. The network is expected to run from 1st March 1998 for
three years.

The LCG network involves seven European partners.  The research goal
of the network is the application of machine learning techniques to
extending a variety of computational grammars. The particular focus of
UCD's research will be on the use of artificial neural network
learning algorithms. 

See http://www.let.rug.nl/~nerbonne/tmr/lcg.html for more details.

Subject to successful contract negotiation, there will be three years
of postdoctoral funding available in the Department of Computer
Science at University College Dublin tenable from March '98.  The
ideal postdoctoral candidates will have research experience in the
use of ANNs in natural language processing.

As the funding is provided by the EU Training and Mobility of
researchers programme there are some restrictions on who may benefit 
from it: 

* Candidates must be aged 35 or younger 
* Candidates must be Nationals of an EU country, Norway,
  Switzerland or Iceland
* Candidates must have studied or be studying for a Doctoral Degree

publications. Please also outline in 2-3 pages your interest in LCG,
how it is related to work you have done, and what special expertise
you bring to the problem.
