    > Computational Linguist - French
    > Primary responsibilities include enhancing and extending the French
    > computational grammar and grammar-checking system, in accordance with the
    > overall architecture of the Microsoft Natural Language Understanding
    > system. The initial emphasis will be on understanding the output of the
    > syntactic component. Native French language proficiency and an advanced
    > degree in Linguistics, Computer Science, or a closely related discipline
    > are required. Other desirable qualifications include experience in
    > linguistic research, with an emphasis on syntax, semantics, or discourse
    > analysis; familiarity with Natural Language Processing; a flexible
    > approach to linguistic theory; practical experience with software
    > development and NLP implementation issues.
    >
    > Linguistic Test Engineer - Spanish
    > Primary responsibility is the creation and maintenance of linguistic test
    > data for Microsoft's Spanish Natural Language Processing system.
    > Responsibilities include analyzing a corpus in Spanish and creating
    > expected linguistic output based on a specification, evaluating linguistic
    > coverage, reporting accuracy, finding and tracking linguistic bugs, and
    > measuring improvement of the products and technology. Native Spanish
    > language proficiency and bachelor's degree in Linguistics or Computational

    > Computational Linguist - Semanticist
    > Enhance, develop, and ship technology in important new problem domains,
    > including information retrieval, information extraction, generation, and
    > natural language command & control of applications, all of which require
    > an integrated understanding of computational semantics. Candidates are
    > welcomed from a broad variety of disciplines and backgrounds, for example,
    > with expertise in any of the following areas: statistical approaches to
    > problems like word sense disambiguation or word correlation;
    > knowledge-based techniques involving semantic networks or ontologies;
    > computational approaches to "dynamic" semantic theories like DRT, Dynamic
    > Montague Grammar or Context/File Change Semantics; inter alia. Qualified
    > applicants should have an advanced degree in Linguistics, Computational
    > Linguistics, or CS (or equivalent experience), strong coding skills, and a
    > desire to see their ideas through to the product stage.
