Post in Computational Linguistics, Stirling
Dr Judy L Delin (jld1@stir.ac.uk)
Sun, 14 Jul 96 17:09:44 BST
Lectureship in Computational and Descriptive Linguistics
University of Stirling, Scotland
The University wishes to expand its growing activity in descriptive and
computational linguistics by appointing a Lecturer to work alongside Dr.
Judy Delin in the Department of English Studies.
We are looking for an established researcher in the field who will invest in
the development of research and teaching at Stirling, with expertise in
discourse, pragmatics, contrastive text analysis, natural language
generation, and/or speech generation. Experience or an interest in
contrastive text analysis in languages other than English, especially
Japanese, would be particularly desirable. The level of the appointment
reflects our expectation that the new person will be able to generate
external research funds and will have initiative in developing
collaborative research within and outside the group. The post will be
research-led, but the ideal candidate would also be able to help develop
future undergraduate and postgraduate teaching modules in linguistics
and computational linguistics. Future teaching and our research
development will also require expertise in programming for NLP.
Stirling is a small University situated in what is perhaps the most
beautiful campus in the U.K., and within easy reach of Edinburgh and
Glasgow. The accommodation is modern and well-equipped (networked,
Unix workstation or other platform if preferred). The Lecturer will be part
of the Language and Communication Research Group, an interdisciplinary
group that includes researchers from Psychology, Education, English
Studies, Japanese Studies, and the Centre for English Language
Teaching. Initiative in establishing further cross-disciplinary links will be
particularly encouraged.
The post would be for two years in the first instance with good prospects of
renewal. The appointment will be on the Lecturer B Scale, L. 20677 to
L. 26430 a year, with placement according to qualifications, experience,
and potential. Starting date is negotiable, although we hope that the new
Lecturer will be with us by January 1997.

email or making an enquiry will be informed of the official closing date,
which is likely to be during September 1996, and will be sent a copy of
the further particulars for the post once this date is finalised with
our Staff Office.
