Corpus Linguistics -- Short-term Posting
The Department of English Linguistics at the Technical University of
Chemnitz is looking for one or two graduate research assistants to help
put the Handbook for the Lampeter Corpus of Early Modern Tracts on to the
World Wide Web. The contract will offer 20 hours of work per week for six
months, starting as soon as possible, and in any case before 1st
September, 1999. Payment would be on the scale BAT IIa (Ost), with a
minimum of 25,200 DM p.a. There would be opportunities to supplement the
basic salary through teaching assignments.
The post would suit a recent graduate looking for a short-term posting
before making the next career move or a researcher on a sabbatical year.
The successful candidate will need an understanding of corpus linguistics,
and knowledge of and interest in historical linguistics, as well as
experience in preparing material for web-pages. S/he should be a fluent
speaker of English, and good competence in German would be an advantage.
The Department provides a lively working environment. Alongside the normal
teaching activities there is a wide range of projects, involving corpora,
language varieties, computer-assisted language learning and the use of
modern multimedia techniques. As well as digitizing and editing the
Lampeter Corpus, members of the Department have also been responsible for
the East African section of the International Corpus of English. The
English Linguistics Department is contributing a research project on
'Learner Behaviour in the Internet Grammar' to a large-scale University
programme on 'Multimedia in Everyday Life', funded by the Deutsche
Forschungsgesellschaft, Germany's principal research funding body.
The city of Chemnitz is in the middle of an energetic programme of
rebuilding and renovation. In the inner suburbs the largest concentration
of Jugendstil houses anywhere in Western Europe is being restored to its
former elegance. Ample accomodation is available in the neighbourhood of
the Humanities Faculty, a little south of the city centre. There is good
public transport, and Chemnitz is only about an hour's train-ride from
both Dresden and Leipzig. The surrounding countryside is pleasantly wooded
and peppered with splendid castles, and in the Erzgebirge to the South
there is a wealth of dramatic scenery and wild-life, as well as villages
that still retain many of their ancient traditions.
Interested candidates should send or e-mail a CV and letter of
application, by 31st April 1999, to:
