similar topic relating to computational applications of
phonetics/phonology) for students with basic knowledge in both

for is taught in English, two hours/week plus a two-hour/week

19. Notification, in case a suitable candidate can be found by then,
is on Sept. 22. Applicants are invited to send a CV, a letter of

Employment is through the University administration (Zentrale
