RESEARCH ASSOCIATE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE
CLINICAL RESEARCH FELLOW IN MEDICAL INFORMATICS
Medical Informatics Group,
Department of Computer Science,
University of Manchester
Staff are sought to join a collaborative EU-funded project being led by
the Medical Informatics Group at the University of Manchester.
The GALEN project is a large EU funded project developing
computer-based models of medical terminology and language. The
project's goal is to provide a model for use in integrating medical
record systems, knowledge based systems, and other clinical information
systems. The model will provide an 'interlingua' for existing coding
systems, the basis for new standards for data interchange, a background
knowledge base for integrating knowledge based systems, and a basis for
multilingual language generation and recognition. The project has a
central role in the European Unions's AIM initiative (Advanced
Informatics in Medicine).
Those appointed will become part of an established research group in
Medical Informatics working on user centred design, HCI, clinical
workstations, KBSs, multi-media, and advanced data bases.
Opportunities exist to register for an advanced degree.
CLINICAL RESEARCH FELLOW IN MEDICAL INFORMATICS
A clinical research fellow is required to join GALEN's clinical effort.
The person appointed will play a major role in compiling the model
using existing coding and classification systems as a source, in
collaboration with our European partners. He or she should have some
prior experience of computing or medical informatics as well as
clinical experience, but analytical abilities are of more importance
than extensive computing experience. Experience with existing medical
coding systems would be an advantage. He or she will also act as a
clinical resource person to the Medical Informatics Group.
RESEARCH ASSOCIATE
We also require an additional research associate to help develop,
implement and support the underlying technology which is being used to
build the model.
The person appointed will be mainly involved in the provision of tools
and user interfaces to help build and visualise large medical models,
including the support of other members of the consortium using the
software. His or her background should include HCI experience.
Knowledge of Unix is essential; knowledge of object oriented systems is
highly desirable (specifically ObjectWorks/Smalltalk); other interests
and experience in databases or AI are also valuable. Strong
communication and organisational skills, and the ability to work with,
and to contribute to, a large inter-disciplinary team are important.
Depending on skills, he or she may also be involved in other aspects
of the underlying software development and dissemination.
Both posts are tenable immediately until August 1995 in the first
instance, with good prospects of a longer term follow-on project.
Clinical research scale 20560-27210 pounds.
Research Associate scale 12828 - 20442 pounds.
The University of Manchester is an equal opportunities employer.

Group, Department of Computer Science, University of Manchester,

Subject: Announcement: French language corpora collection, Strasbourg
Reply-To: rousse@steinway.u-strasbg.fr
It seems that there are not many French language corpora available
on ftp. Some professionals I talked with have pointed out that a
special collection of texts would be very useful, among other things,
to compare various computer linguistics tools.
I am working on knowledge acquisition, and I am trying to impulse in
my laboratory the collection of such corpora, to make them freely
accessible to all. Before actually starting this project I want to
collect as much information and advice as possible. In particular, I
want to avoid undue competition with similar initiatives.
I have heard about the ELSNET European initiative, in which French
texts are available for sale on CD, but there are rather few, and
cover only general knowledge, not specialized domains.
My goal is different: I would like to have French native speakers to
organize the collecting, to and make the texts available by ftp at no
cost.
Contact me if you are interested or can provide advice, information,
help, and corpora. Technical/scientific texts are welcome.

Needed: Sources for Resolution of Pronomial Anaphora
Hello, I am doing an honours project in the resolution of
pronomial anaphora, does anyone have any sources on this area that
they could let me know about. I have read Graeme Hirst's book
reviewing the field and would appreciate some more good sources.
Downloadable papers would especially be useful.
