The Ohio State University Department of Linguistics announces a new
position, pending final approval, for a tenured Professor or Associate
Professor, beginning with the Autumn quarter of 1996. We are
searching for a computational linguist whose specialization is in

The primary duties of this position are: maintaining an active
research program in computational linguistics and playing a central
role in the further development of computational linguistics with
regard to curriculum and research facilities; teaching undergraduate-
and graduate-level courses, advising students, and directing graduate
student research; and performing service duties as required by the
department, the College of Humanities, and the University. The salary
will be negotiable, but commensurate with rank and credentials.

The successful candidate will have demonstrated excellence in research
and teaching and will have a strong commitment to building bridges
among related areas of investigation within the department and
throughout the University.
