[Mark Sanderson]

As a follow up to an earlier advert, the MIND RA post is now officially 
being advertised.


MIND (http://dis.shef.ac.uk/mark/mind/)
A 27-month multi-site EU funded project investigating the searching of 
multiple multimedia digital libraries (i.e. search and meta search engines) 
over a wide area network.  Sheffield’s main task focuses on searching 
libraries of speech documents.  Emphasis will be on information retrieval 
and interface design over actual speech recognition.  The fusing of results 
from multiple libraries will also be examined.  Candidates with a relevant 
post graduate degree with some or all of the following experience should 
apply: Java or C++ programming; HCI and user testing; information 
retrieval; and speech recognition.  Pay range £16,775 - £21,435.

The department of Information Studies at Sheffield has consistently gained 
the highest possible research rating and has a long tradition of high 
quality Information Retrieval research.  It has strong links with the 
internationally renowned natural language processing and speech research 
groups within the Computer Science department.
