Postdoctoral positions in Linguistics at Rutgers University
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:
