Newman Inc. has several exciting positions in speech recognition,
language understanding and character recognition. To apply send your
resume and indication of which position you are interested in to
Karen Nicholson (knicholsonbbn.com).

POSITIONS:

Applied Computational Linguist

 Work with a research team to develop fieldable technology including
advance prototypes and products in information extraction systems,
including name recognition and template fill from newswire.
Experience in applying computational linguistics to real applications,
excellent skills as a programmer in C/C++/Lisp, and degree in computer
science or related field required. U.S. Citizenship and willingness
to get a DoD clearance required.

Statistical Computational Linguist

 Reserach and development of new techniques and software for
processing large corpora, including languages other than English, and
language modeling for speech and NL systems. Masters or PhD in
computer science or related area, strong math/stat background, strong
C programming skills required. Experience in Lisp, Splus, Perl
a plus. U.S. Citizenship and fluency in a second language desirable.

Entry Level Researcher

 Participate in a research group developing algorithms and building
systems for advanced speech and language technologies, provide support
by implementing algorithms, running experiments, collecting and
analyzing data. Bachelor's level in computer science, engineering, or
related field, excellent undergraduate GPA, experience in university
research lab or summer internship, and programming skills in C/C++ and
