(With apologies to those who receive this more than once). Job Vacancy: Research Officer Dept. of Language and Linguistics University of Essex, UK The Department of Language and Linguistics at the University of Essex has a vacancy for a linguist or computational linguist to work on a project involving World Wide Web access to linguistic corpora. The successful candidate will be involved in the Essex contribution to JTAP project JTAP-2/247: ``Word Wide Web-Corpora/Internet Grammar of English'', which involves the University of Essex and the Survey of English Usage at University College London. (JTAP is the Joint Technology Applications Programme of JISC, Joint Information Systems Committee of the UK funding councils). The aim of the Essex part of the project is to provide WWW access to linguistic corpora. The successful candidate will have a background in linguistics or computational linguistics, ideally with a strong corpus orientation, and will be expected to contribute to a variety of project tasks, in particular: + testing and evaluation of prototypes; + design of questionnaires to elicit feedback from users, and analysis of such feedback; + documentation, particularly design of on-line help messages, examples and exercises. + The CL/MT group at Essex is involved in a number of language engineering and computational linguistics projects in which the successful candidate may be involved. Applicants should, ideally, have a strong backround in corpus linguistics, and should be computer literate (ideally with familiarity of working in a Unix environment). The appointement will be on the RA1A/RA1B scale, commensurate with age and experience (i.e. in the range UKL 15,159 to UKL 22,785 per annum). The period of the appointment will be until the end of the project (31 July 1998), with a possibility of extension. We are looking to appoint as soon as possible (which means, realistically, a starting date at the end of Septembmer).
