courses at all levels to students within the Institute of Linguistics and
to students in other courses that require servicing by the Institute of
Linguistics, and to contribute substantially to the development of the
Institute research programmes.

Other essential qualifications are good communicative skills, the ability
to work in a team, and experience in the teaching of one or more areas of
Computational Linguistics, Natural Language Processing and/or Cognitive
Science. Preference will be given to applicants who are specialists in one
or more of the following areas: Natural Language Processing, Experimental
Psycholinguistics, Artificial Intelligence, Corpus Linguistics.
