THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM

SCHOOL OF ENGLISH

RESEARCH ASSOCIATE/FELLOW IN COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS
WORK WITH LANGUAGE


Applications are invited from suitably qualified and experienced
graduates for the above post. The job entails handling most of the
computing side of the development of software tools for studying
large samples of natural language, principally but not exclusively
English.

Candidates should be familiar with UNIX and the C programming language,
as well as having all-round skills in computing. They should have a
flexible approach to research and should be interested in helping to
find practical solutions to problems that arise in research. The samples
of language run to many millions of words, and although the responsibility
for the corpora is shared among a number of groups, the English School
needs to maintain its own independent facility.

The appointment is from as soon as possible until 31st July 1995.

Salary in the range of 12,828 to 25,107 pounds per annum.
