Tenure-track assistant professor of linguistics with experience and/or
research interests in the application of computers to linguistics,
e.g., in the digital archiving or analysis of language data and in the
use of internet technologies in the collection, search, and retrieval
of language documentation. The position begins Fall 2003. The
successful candidate will be expected to teach courses in these
skills, as well as undergraduate and MA-level courses in one or more
core areas of linguistics. Knowledge of XML, database structure,
metadata formats, and other emerging standards in language engineering
is a plus, as is fieldwork experience and experience working with
phonetic and lexical data.
One of the developing emphases of the EMU linguistics program is the
digitization of language data; this emphasis is emerging from EMU's
participation in the E-MELD project (http://linguistlist.org/emeld/)
and the fact that EMU is a site of The LINGUIST List
(http://linguistlist.org) and a major OLAC service provider
(http://linguistlist.org/olac/). The successful candidate will have
the opportunity to make a significant contribution to these
enterprises.
