SUMMARY: Vacancies exist for two people in ASR within a leading edge small
commercial company. One post is for an experienced researcher, the other for
a fresh graduate in computer science.

Forum Technology and the Defence Research Agency, Malvern, have been working
together on a major DTI funded collaborative speech recognition project. The
project is based in the foot of the hills in Malvern, Worcestershire, England.
Forum is a small, young and dynamic company which has been engaged in work on
voice products and speech recognition for some years. The Defence Research
Agency, Malvern (formerly Royal Signals and Radar), has been engaged in speech
research for several decades.

Forum Technology is looking for people who can help develop new systems and
products. The posts will involve language modelling research, some acoustic
modelling research and development work.

The first post if for an experienced researcher. Previous experience
with statistical processing of speech and language is necessary.

The second post is for a fresh graduate in computer science. Experience
in C programming and some knowledge of C++ is required. Previous exposure
to statistical processing of speech and language would be a plus.

Our negotiated renumeration packages are definitely above industry standards.
