The research covers aspects of spoken language comprehension ranging from acoustic-phonetic analysis and word recognition to syntactic parsing and discourse interpretation. Candidates will be expected to contribute at all levels to the conduct and development of research in these areas. The Research Assistant positions can be either full-time or part-time. Preferred candidates will have appropriate experience in experimental psychology, linguistics, laboratory computing or related disciplines. The positions are available from October 1 1990, and will run until December 1994. Salaries on scale 1B or 1A within the range #13166 - #19932 p.a. inclusive of London weighting, depending on age and experience. Applications, in the form of three copies of a recent cv, should be sent to Dr L.K. Tyler, Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EB (Tel: 0223-333586; e-mail: LKT10@uk.ac.cam.phx) by May 30 1990. ---------------------------------------------------------------- TWO RESEARCH ASSOCIATE POSITIONS Unification based models of lexical access and incremental interpretation Applications are invited for two 3 year Research Associate positions to work on a project funded by the Joint Research Councils Cognitive Science Initiative. The aim of the project is to combine psycholinguistic and computational techniques in modelling the processes of lexical access, parsing and incremental interpretation in spoken language understanding. We need one person with a background in psycholinguistics (and preferably with experience in computational techniques as well) to assist in the development of computationally based psychological models and in the design and conduct of experimental studies. This post will be held at Birkbeck College, University of London (where William Marslen-Wilson and Lorraine Tyler are moving in October 1990). The other position is suitable for someone with a background in computational linguistics or artificial intelligence and will involve the design and implementation of computational systems exemplifying or supporting psychological models. This position will be based at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. Appointments will be made on the RA1A scale (as of 1/5/1990) between #11390 and #15444; the Birkbeck position will also receive #1767 London weighting. It is hoped to begin the project in October 1990. For further details contact any of the following: Dr W.
