This is a paraphrase of the announcement that appeared for the
position as full professor at G"teborgs universitet (G"teborg
University), Sweden. All the facts are here, but it is not a direct
translation.
The University announces a tenure position in Natural Language
Processing especially lexicology. The position is to be held in the
Department of Swedish. Eligible are those who can demonstrate
scholarly and teaching ability.
Applicants must append the following to their application:
1.) A short summary of their scholarly and teaching activities

scholarly, educational and other works which should be
taken into consideration.
3.) Four copies of degrees and other documents that the
applicant would like to appeal to.
4.) At most 10 works (four copies of each) that the applicant
would like to offer as proof of ability. These should
preferable be sent in as four separate packages, as they
will be turned over to individuals who will judge them.
Item 1 and 2 must have arrived at the university no later than April
11, 1995. (There have been occasions where they have arrived by fax on
the last day. Probably not to be recommended. My remarks. Not to be
found in the official document). Items 3 and 4 must be delivered at
that time, or a separate application should be made (due at the same
time) in which are listed the contents of what you intend to send in
under 3 and 4. (Either turn it in at that time, or give them a list of
what you do intend to turn in). If you do not send in 3 and 4 at the
time of your application, then they must be sent in within 3 weeks
after the final date of application.
The Chairman of the Department, Lars-Gunnar Andersson,
can provide further details. His telephone
number is +46 31 773 4465 (where 46 is the international number for
Sweden and + is whatever you use to get to your long-distance service).
(His e-mail is svelga at svenska.gu.se).
Union representatives are S"oren Sagne, +46 31 773 1989 and Jan
Theliander, +46 31 773 1167 and Lennart Olsson, +46 31 773 1173.
The application, together with the reference number (E 311 590/95)
should be addressed to: Rektor, G"teborgs universitet, Registrator,
Vasaparken, S-411 24 G"OTEBORG.
Comments:
In Sweden we don't use the terms tenure or tenure-track. This position
is not time-limited and will not be up for evaluation or anything like
that.
