Subject: Research position vacant



The Australian National Place Names Project has a 2-year research

position available, suitable for a post-doctoral student with

experience in toponymy and dialect research.



The aim of the National Place Names Project is to construct a

comprehensive database of an estimated 4 million Australian place

names, compiled on a linguistic, etymological and historical basis.



The appointee will develop the methodologies, the procedures and the

regional structures that are necessary for the Project to succeed.



I won't take up further bandwidth with details; anyone who is

interested could e-mail me direct, and I can send the information

package. Closing date for applications is 1 September.
