Research Officers for an ESRC project
=====================================

Applications are invited for two posts on a research project
which aims to create an electronic database of the spontaneous
conversations of young children speaking Welsh. The project is
funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC),
and is directed by Mr Bob Morris Jones, Education Department,
University of Wales Aberystwyth. The project will run from 1st
July 1999 to 30th June 2000. The appointments will be made on
point 4 of the salary scale RA1B, 15,735. The postholders will
be responsible for transcribing audio recordings of the
spontaneous conversations of young children using standard
conventions, and for preparing a lexicon of all the word-forms
which occur in the database. The applicants must be fluent in
everyday colloquial Welsh either of a northern or southern
dialect. Training in Linguistics would be a definite advantage, but
qualifications in Welsh or a modern language would also be
relevant. The work requires computer skills: using a PC,

packages, and using e-mail and the Web. There will be
preliminary training in the use of the transcription system and the
computer work. For further details, contact the Personnel Office,
