job ad.

[N.Sharkey@dcs.shef.ac.uk]

There are two things that should be said to accompany the following
job ad.  First, a lecturer grade A in the UK is the direct equivalent
to an Assistant professor. Second, I would like to see good neural net
people apply, particulary in the area of Connectionist Natural
Language Proceessing. We have an institute for Language Speech and
Hearing (ILASH)directed by Professor Yorick Wilkes. I should stress,
however, that while I will have a say in the appointment, so will
several other people from different areas. That is why I am trying to
encourage first rate applicants.
