UBILAB (UBS Information Technology Laboratory) is the corporate information
technology innovation center of Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS), the
largest bank of the country.  It pursues a small number of attractive,
highly competitive research projects foussed on both the IT departments of
the Bank and the CS research community at large.  UBILAB has the status of
a highly competitive research institution; we are publishing scientific
papers, participate in international conferences, and maintain contacts
with universities and other research institutions on a worldwide basis.

There is a position to be filled immediately for a highly qualified
researcher in the area of Speech Research.

Speech Research at the UBILAB so far concentrated on telephone voice
interfaces and speech recognition that were applied in an interactive voice
response system for the general user. A pilot system for the languages
German, French and Italian was successfully implemented. In the future, we
intend to also explore speaker recognition and voice synthesis.

Most of the project work at UBILAB is done on different hardware platforms
under UNIX and is programmed in C/C++. 

An applicant must have both a degree in Computer Science or Electrical
Engineering, preferably a PhD, and an outstanding research record.  In
addition, the applicant must be able to speak and write either English or
German perfectly (or both, of course).
