    Consulting Position for Linguists

    The Reasoning Group at Educational Testing Service is seeking a linguist to serve as a consultant for special projects. The selected individual will participate in a three-day meeting. The desired outcome of the meeting is the production of a set of high-quality documents related to speech science--specifically hearing, perception, instrumentation, and testing.

    The successful candidate must meet EACH of the following requirements:

    (1) The Ph.D. degree in Linguistics must be in hand. A.B.D. is not acceptable. Ph.D. degree holders in a field other than linguistics and linguists with less than a completed doctorate should NOT apply. (2) Travel is required between January 27 and 31, 1998. Reasonable travel expenses (within the United States) will be covered. (3) Strong specialization in or knowledge of speech science, acoustic phonetics, perception, and/or cognition is required. Knowledge within the fields of audiology or speech-language pathology is a plus but is not required. A sophisticated understanding of sociolinguistic principles is important but not in itself sufficient. (4) Excellent writing skills, attention to detail, and an intimate knowledge of the English language.

    An honorarium of $1000 plus travel expenses will be paid for participation in this project. Additional follow-up consulting work after the meeting is likely, depending on the individuals performance and usefulness to the project.

    Please send a brief email message summarizing your qualifications related to the four requirements above to thabickets.org You should also attach or include your resume. Fax is acceptable, but please do not leave voicemail messages.
