The Surrey Morphology Group is looking for a part time Research Officer to work on the British Academy funded project 'Essential documentation of seven highly endangered Oceanic languages.' The project will make primary documentation on the languages available as a digital resource via the worldwide web and the PARADISEC and ELAR electronic archives.

You will transcribe audio recordings of primary data; enter data into lexical databases; enter transcriptions into Shoebox/Toolbox software; and prepare audio and other materials for electronic delivery.

With a good undergraduate degree in linguistics, you will have experience transcribing exotic language data from audio sources, and experience working with lexical data. If that is you, we would like to hear from you.

Familiarity with Shoebox software is not essential but would be helpful, as would some familiarity with Oceanic languages, and/or some knowledge of Tok Pisin or another variety of Melanesian Pidgin. A PhD in linguistics would be an advantage.

The Surrey Morphology Group is a lively and stimulating research community with diverse interests and expertise, and range of ongoing research projects with a history of collaboration in the international linguistic community.
