Lectureship in Argumentation, Dundee (Scotland)

Applications are invited for a new lectureship in the Argumentation Research Group within the School of Computing at the University of Dundee.

The post will be held in the Argumentation Research Group in the School of Computing at the University of Dundee. The group's expansion is associated with the development of new postgraduate level teaching in which the new lecturer will be expected to play a leading role. This teaching responsibility will involve development of module specifications, student recruitment, and preparation and delivery of materials in areas related to argumentation and negotiation.

The group is looking to complement its existing research strengths with expertise which can link argumentation with computational linguistics, rhetoric, economics or the law. Some experience with argumentation in one of these contexts is essential, as is a strong background in computer science and artificial intelligence.

The post will commence from 01 March 2013 (or other date by negotiation), and is permanent, subject to probation. The closing date for applications is 14 January 2013. Please quote Reference number ASE/0175. More information is available from the research group website at http://www.arg.dundee.ac.uk/.
