Don't tell my Head of Department but it is extremely likely that we will have a lectureship vacancy here from January 2000. While clearly the main need is for someone who can teach computer science (or computing...) I was wondering whether to make a play for someone involved in computer music or audio. So, the reason for this message is to see if there are enough people who would be interested for me to open up teh attempt. I write this in the memory that when I tried this last time I got slapped down by the then Head of School, but things could be different this time. If you coudl be interested or know someone who could be interersted, could you e-mail me? Actually I would also be interested in the general employment position for computer music types; are their academic jobs? Are you in the day job/real job business? == John ffitch Department of Mathematical Sciences and Media Technology Research Centre University of Bath %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
