University of Sussex

School of Cognitive and Computing Sciences

There will be a vacancy for a half-time researcher to work
from January 2000 on Prof. G.R. Sampson's grammar-annotation
project, sponsored by the Economic and Social Research Council.
The main duties of the post will be to apply a detailed grammar-annotation
scheme, defined in Prof. Sampson's book <italics>English for the Computer<end
italics> (O.U.P., 1995), to samples of written English, and to use
various software systems to process the annotations.

Qualifications sought are interest in fine details of the English language,
familiarity with traditional grammatical terminology, some computing
experience (preferably Unix-based), and willingness to work in
a painstaking style.  Since the new phase of research
has special relevance to young people's development of writing skills,
ability to cultivate contacts with the English-teaching profession at
secondary-school level would also be an advantage.  Working hours
flexible by negotiation.

The appointment will be on the RA1A scale, with starting salary pro rata
to a full-time rate of GBP 18,185 per annum, and will last for up to
three years.

To discuss this vacancy informally, e-mail Prof. Sampson at
geoffs at cogs.susx.ac.uk.  Further information
is available on Prof. Sampson's website at http://www.grs.u-net.com/
(see particularly the "LUCY" page).

Applications, including c.v. and names of two references, should be
sent by 24 November 1999 to Prof. G.R. Sampson,
School of Cognitive & Computing Sciences,
University of Sussex, Falmer, Brighton BN1 9QH, England.
