International Science & Technology Associates, Inc. 
(ISTA) is looking for J/E technical linguists to 
help with its growing ConvertedKokai(tm) machine 
translation service for Japanese patents.  The 
linguist will work _in-house_ to service client requests 
and develop knowledge bases.

ISTA is agressively using machine translation and 
developing natural language techniques for providing 
technical information from Japanese patents.  In 1993, 
we were one of only two non-Japanese companies to invest in 
the JPO CDROM of Japanese patents and now have a 
complete, up-to-date collection of Kokai dating back 
to 1993.  ISTA introduced ConvertedKokai(tm) machine 
translations of Japanese patents one year ago.  This 
service has received favorable reviews from major 
consumers of Japanese patent translations. Started in February 
1996, this service has yet to be duplicated or imitated.

In little over a year, some 50 companies have become 
repeat customers for ConvertedKokai(tm) machine translations.  
These companies are mainly industrial R&D powerhouses such as DuPont, 
Amoco, Exxon and 3M.

The ideal candidate will have a technical background 
and fluency with written Japanese and English 
technical documents.  Training will be provided for 
using online searches to research the lexicon.  In-house 
training will be provided for using ISTA's proprietary 
machine translation system to deliver useful 
information to clients.

Salary and hours (full time vs part time)
will be determined by negotiation.

ISTA provides pension, health, dental and fitness center 
benefits for full time employees.  

ISTA is located in suburban Philadelphia.
