    NEW OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY PROJECT

The Oxford English Dictionary is a cultural monument and one of the
great achievements of human scholarship.  The Project's goals are an
editing system and an electronic delivery system for the Dictionary.
This requires pioneering techniques in the areas of database
architecture and user interface.

   Software Designer

Responsibilities are participation in the New OED Software research and
development, and provision of consulting to users of the system.

Qualified candidates should possess a graduate degree in Computer
Science or equivalent experience, and have participated in the design of
large software systems.  We require demonstrated expertise in at least
one of the following areas: database theory and implementation, advanced
text display technology, and formal languages and parsing.  Knowledge of
C programming in a UNIX environment is preferred.  Excellent verbal and
written communication skills are essential.

These positions are research funded and are eligible for full University
of Waterloo staff benefits.
