<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=062173711-01122008>A vacancy has arisen
for a Research Assistant to work on the Corpus of Modern Scottish Writing
(1700-1945). The AHRC (Arts and Humanities Research Council) awarded a grant
over three years (June 2007-May 2010) for the development of an electronic
corpus of Scottish literary and non-literary texts from the period of 1700-1945.
This corpus is to be mounted on the Web and will be freely available to
researchers, educators and members of the public. The focus of the corpus is on
Scots and Scottish English. The appointee will work under the supervision of the
Glasgow grant-holders, Professor John Corbett and Professor Jeremy Smith, and
the Computing Officer, Mr Dave Beavan. The project team includes a postgraduate
research student, Mr Dorian Grieve, and associated members of staff, including
Mrs Jean Anderson, Dr Wendy Anderson and Professor Christian Kay. The primary
task of the Research Assistant will be to support the grant-holders and
Computing Officer in maintaining the work-flow necessary to deliver the project
targets within the final 17 months of the funding period. The Research Assistant
will also contribute to the research outputs of the project. </DIV>
