Well, we offer research positions from time to time, and only use Linux as our dev platform, but judging from the number of applicants we usually get, there is an over-supply of tallented people. This will no doubt change, as soon as industry realises how important it all is, when Microsoft bans program development on PC platforms unless they get to control it. The EC is already funding several medium-large research projects in the music and film area, and is in places actively supporting the open source initiative. The UK has an EPSRC (Engineering and Science Research Council) Network of Excellence in Music Technology.
If we have any jobs going, they are always advertised on this list, by the way, as well as our web site (currently being revamped) and other "standard" places. From the response we get, I'd encourage other people wanting to recruit to do the same. As far as I can tell, there are no "no hopers" on this list! We get c. 10 A-1 applicants for each post in total: contrast this with the guys in the research group down the corridor who recently had about 5 posts to fill, and only one applicant (I did *not* miss out the word "suitable"). I really wish we could hire more of them! Nick/ nick wrote: >Hi, > >I've just finished my degree in CS :~( and now must enter the real >world.
