LECTURESHIP IN LINGUISTICS
DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICS, UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH

Applications are invited for a two year temporary lectureship in the
Department of Linguistics, to begin on 1st October 1994.

The Department seeks a lecturer whose primary responsibilities  
will be:

1. To act as organiser for the MSc course in Speech and Language  
Processing, with day to day responsibility for its smooth  
running.
2. To teach the speech processing modules for the course,
including signal processing and speech synthesis and  
recognition.
3. To supervise a number of course projects.

Familiarity with the ESPS/WAVES signal processing package, or  
the ability to become familiar with it before the start of the  
job, is essential, and an acquaintance with the HTK hidden  
Markov model toolkit would be a distinct advantage.  Ability to  
teach either automata theory or speech perception at an  
introductory level would also be desirable.

Salary will be on the Lecturer A scale (L14,756 - L19,326 per
annum) with placing according to age, qualifications and  
experience. 


The closing date for applications is **21st August 1994**, but
earlier applications are encouraged. It is hoped that interviews  
will be held in late August/early September 1994.

 Further particulars can be obtained by contacting Mr. Stephen  
Isard at stepheni@cstr.ed.ac.uk, or Mrs. Ethel Jack, Department of
Linguistics, University of Edinburgh, 40 George Square, Edinburgh EH8 9LL,
Scotland, U.K., tel. (031) 650 3961.
