POSITION: programmer/software engineer with specialization in
	  signal processing analysis of speech
SALARY:	  approx. $26K/year
LOCATION: Phonetics Laboratory, University of California, San Diego
TENURE:   present to October 1984, possibly longer

We are developing models of speech perception within an "interactive 
activation" framework and are looking for a software engineer 
with experience in signal processing analysis of speech to assist
in the project.  

The project involves developing techniques for carrying out parallel
processing within a system of computationally simple (but highly
interconnected) elements,  and applying these techniques to the task
of speech understanding in a way which has some psychological and linguistic
plausibility.  The current simulation is able to extract
16 features from speech input and recognize a limited number of 
phonemes and words.

Duties involve developing software for signal processing of speech data,
assisting in the development and refinement of acoustic/phonetic feature
extraction, helping maintain UNIX (4.1bsd) operating system running on
a VAX 11/750 computer, and helping in psycholinguistic experiments
which may be carried out in conjunction with modeling efforts.

Prior experience with speech recognition techniques essential.  Experience
with UNIX  and the C programming language highly desirable.  Experience with 
graphics desirable but not essential.
