<P>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.</P>
<P>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.</P>
<P>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.</P>
<P>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.</P>
<P>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. For
