 ==========================================================================
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.

Research Associate

Language Engineering Resources for the British Isles Indigenous
Minority Languages

Starting salary up to £19486 on the RA1A scale: £17,451 - £26,229

Applications are invited for a full-time research associate on the
above EPSRC-funded research project, directed by Dr. Andrew Wilson.

The project is concerned with locating, collecting, and disseminating
computer-readable language resources to assist in the development of
speech and language technology for the Welsh, Gaelic, Irish, Manx,
Cornish, Ullans, and Scots languages.

The appointee will carry out a survey of resource availability and
needs among both academic and industrial users, and will be involved
in planning and co-ordinating the collection, transcription, and
analysis of a small corpus of spoken Welsh and Gaelic.

The successful applicant will be a graduate in Celtic languages,
linguistics, or a related area, and will have some knowledge of either
Welsh or Gaelic (or, exceptionally, another Celtic language).  You
will require a high level of computer literacy as well as good
research and communication skills.  Preference may be given to
applicants with some previous experience in co-ordinating the work of
others (not necessarily in an academic or research context).  Some
familiarity with corpus linguistics would be desirable but is by no
means essential.

The post is available for 17.5 months from 7 January 2002 or as soon
as possible thereafter.

Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr. Andrew Wilson ; 01524
