I wanted to mention a Python Web Developer opportunity at Stanford. We are
looking for a serious Python developer/hacker. The person will have an
opportunity to interact with Stanford CS Natural Language Processing group
and get exposed to the latest research in machine learning and NLP. There
will also be an opportunity to write search and data-mining code.
I am posting a job description below.
Thanks, - George
