    MELLON POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP

    Contingent on funding, the Department of Linguistics at Northwestern University invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship funded through a grant to the University from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The fellowship is for a period of two academic years, beginning September 1, 1999. In accordance with the fellowship guidelines, all requirements for the Ph.D. must be completed prior to the start of the fellowship period. We are seeking candidates in any subfield of linguistics who have analyzed primary data (e.g., experimental data, field data, or natural language corpora) in order to address theoretical issues. Preference will be given to candidates whose research interests are interdisciplinary and mesh with those of the current faculty.

    Salary is competitive and commensurate with qualifications. The position provides funds for computer facilities and professional travel. Mellon postdoctoral fellows are expected to participate fully in Northwestern's interdisciplinary research environment, teach two quarter-length courses per year, and present one colloquium per year.

    Applications are due at Northwestern by January 19, 1999. The application should include the candidate's CV (indicating an e-mail address), statements of research and teaching interests, teaching evaluations (if available), and reprints or other written work. (Finalists will be asked to submit a copy of the dissertation, or completed portions thereof, at a later date; it is not necessary to do so at this time.) Candidates should arrange to have 3-4 letters of reference sent directly to the search committee by the application deadline; if possible, one of the letters should specifically address the applicant's qualifications as a teacher.

    Send all materials to:

    Mellon Search Committee Department of Linguistics Northwestern University 2016 Sheridan Road Evanston, IL 60208-4090 (Tel: 847-491-7020, Fax: 847-491-3770)
