===========================================================

Lectureship in linguistics, ref. no. 276-94-40 
University of Skoevde, Sweden.

Deadline for application: Jan. 20th 1995.

The appointment includes both research and lecturing duties.
Applicants  should  posses  a general competence in linguis-
tics, but also be prepared to work within  the  border-areas
of  computer  science and cognitive science, which are areas
where the University is planning to develop  both  education
and  a research competence with special emphasis on linguis-
tics. It is therefore considered a merit  if  the  applicant
has  skills  within  traditional  artificial intelligence or
connectionism. The lectureship will belong to the Department
of  modern  languages,  but will involve lecturing duties at
the Department of computer science.

The University of Skoevde is one of Sweden's  youngest,  but
it  is undergoing a dynamical development. The main focus of
all the University activities is towards the private sector,
industry  and  international  trade,  especially the use and
development of tools for information technology.  Six  areas
of  competence  have been established; engineering, computer
science, cognitive science, economics, language as  well  as
media and arts.

Currently, the education programmes  of  the  Department  of
Modern  Languages include; English, French, Spanish and Ger-
man. In addition, the Department of computer science  offers
a number of 3-year programmes in computer science and cogni-
tive science, as well as a  research  oriented  master  pro-
gramme.  Research is conducted in connectionism, distributed
real-time databases and active databases.
