Austronesian, Austroasiatic, and Tibeto-Burman languages. Minimal
qualifications are a Ph.D. degree in hand at time of appointment, a
thorough training in general linguistics and given areas of
specialization, and a strong commitment to excellence in research and

is NT$864,780 (about US$25,500 per annum but with a much higher
purchasing power in Taiwan), plus fringe benefits including health
insurance, bonuses, and travel subsidies. Competitive salaries
commensurate with experience and qualifications are also available for

Research Fellow positions.Applicants are requested to send a letter of
