The CKIP group is a on-going long-term research project on
Chinese computational linguistics. The project started in 1986
and has already built an electronic lexicon, a parser, a
classical Chinese corpus, and a Modern Mandarin corpus. The
project is funded by Academia Sinica (Institute of Information
Science and Institute of History and Philology) as well as
outside agencies (such as the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation and the
National Science Council of R.O.C.). We are now inviting
candidates to compete for post-doctoral fellowships from Academia
Sinica. Successful candidates must be affiliated with one of the
research projects listed above. Both previous post-doctoral
fellows with CKIP now hold tenure-track positions with national
universities in Taiwan.
