 ==========================================================================
The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html.

This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment
standards of various countries.

Description:

The Seminar für Sprachwissenschaft,

University of Tubingen, is looking to hire a phonetician or
computational linguist with expertise in both areas for Nov. 2003 to
mid-February 2004. The main obligation is to teach an interesting
course in either speech recognition or text-to-speech synthesis (or a
similar topic relating to computational applications of
phonetics/phonology) for students with basic knowledge in both
phonetics/phonology and computational linguistics. The course we look
for is taught in English, two hours/week plus a two-hour/week
accompanying session (demonstrations, discussion of problem sets, or
similar.). The salary is BAT IIa in the German system (typically
around 3000 - 4000 Euro/month, depending on age and marital status of
the applicant). The deadline for application is September
19. Notification, in case a suitable candidate can be found by then,
is on Sept. 22. Applicants are invited to send a CV, a letter of
reference, a work sample if available, as well as an informal one-page
outline of the suggested course. E-mail applications are welcome.

Applications by qualified women are particularly welcome.  Handicapped
applicants are given preference in case of equal qualification.
Employment is through the University administration (Zentrale
Verwaltung).
