[Lexicog] Announcement: New Dictionary/Corpus Project

[Zimmer, Ben]

Oxford Dictionaries: New Dictionary/Corpus Project

The English Dictionaries' Department of Oxford University Press is
looking for freelance lexicographers, graduates, or undergraduates to
work on an exciting new dictionary project. The project is due to
start in June 2007, and involves linkage between dictionary data and
corpus/natural language data.

We are looking for both British and American English native speakers.
You should have or be working toward a bachelor's degree, be quick to
learn, with a strong background and interest in the English language:
lexicographical study or experience is desirable but not essential.
Excellent analytical, decision-making, and linguistic skills are
essential, together with good IT skills and the ability to work
quickly and to keep to given schedules. Because the work is entirely
Web-based, you will need access to Mozilla Firefox 1 or 2.0, or
Internet Explorer 6 and above.

The work is paid according to an hourly fee, and hours and periods of
working are flexible within the requirements of the schedule.

Contact:

If you are interested, please apply, with a CV/resumé and cover
letter, to Ben Zimmer, either by email to ben.zimmer at oup.com or by
mail to Ben Zimmer, Oxford University Press, 198 Madison Ave., New
York, NY 10016.

As part of the application process, selected candidates will be asked
to complete a short online aptitude test. Closing date for receipt of
applications is June 7, 2007.
