Postdoctoral positions in Linguistics at Rutgers University |
|
Thursday, 29 October 2009 |
The Department of Linguistics at Rutgers University in New Brunswick has two half year fellowships for postdoctoral residence at Rutgers University, one for Spring, 2011 and one for either Fall, 2011 or Spring, 2012. All applicants must have a Ph.D. in hand before their residency and must be native speakers of a non-Colonial language of Africa. These postdoctoral positions are funded by the NSF-supported African Anaphora Project (Afranaph) and Afranaph fellows will be expected to spend at least 20 hours per week working on the project. Preference will be given to applicants within five years of the completion of their degrees, but interested candidates with more experience are encouraged to apply. Successful applicants will be those who most closely fit the needs of the project. The six months of support includes a stipend of approximately $20,000 and funds to cover round-trip travel expenses from the candidate’s country of origin. Further details are to be posted at http://www.africananaphora.rutgers.edu on the ‘News and Events’ page.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, three letters of reference, a cover letter that names those writing in support, supporting documents, such as essays in progress or published work (limited to no more than two), and a short statement including a summary of research interests. Applicants who do not have a Ph.D. when applying, but who expect to have their Ph.D. in hand before the fellowship begins, should include a letter from their advisor concerning their expected date of completion. Applications received before March 7, 2010 are assured consideration, but we will continue to accept applications until both positions have been filled. All applications, letters of reference and materials should be sent to:
Afranaph Project - Attention Ken Safir
Department of Linguistics - Rutgers University

New Brunswick, New Jersey 08903

NSF funds the Afranaph Project
The big news is that NSF has awarded our project a new grant that will begin in Fall, 2009 and extend full (and now more generous) funding for our project for at least three more years, though our future is open-ended. The final budget allocation is not yet set, but when it is we hope it will permit us to announce new initiatives that will involve many more researchers and consultant-researchers in new projects. Watch this space!

The African Anaphora Project Launches New Website |

Wednesday, 22 October 2008 |

On December 7, our new website, designed by John Amodeo, has come online and the new interactive database, designed by Alexis Dimitriadis, has now become an integral part of our project website. The new site opens 14 languages represented in case files, twelve of which have content posted, and ten of the latter are entered into our online database. In the next several months we expect to add new languages to the database, expand the features offered in a number of our existing case files, and add new case files. Each time new material is added to the site, we will announce it in this space. In the past, new additions to the site have been few and far between, even as much work went on out of site/sight. Our previous organization and practices did not permit us to enter incomplete AQ responses in an easily usable format, but the new database feature of our site has changed this to a certain extent. As a result, more raw data can be posted on the site shortly after it comes in, even if we do not have all the analytic commentary on it that we gather in our follow-up procedures. As a result, changes to the database will be relatively frequent as long as we are funded, and we will release bulletins whenever there is a significant revision of previous data and whenever new documents are posted or new languages are added to the database. The bulletins will be saved as archives of significant changes. We expect that the frequency of the changes we will be making will inevitably introduce errors, and we hope you will Contact Us if you spot any. We also are open to suggestions about useful features we might add to the site. We hope that, if you have a research project that could make use of our materials or our network of consultants, you will please let us know how we might help you. Welcome to our new website! |
