The division of Linguistics and English Language in the Department of Humanities is inviting applications from applicants who have a broad interest in cognitive linguistics and/or discourse analysis. We particularly welcome applications from students interested in empirical approaches (including both corpus and experimental methods) and the study of spoken language. Successful applicants will receive: A full fee waiver (home and EU students only) for three years full time A bursary of £13,590 per annum for three years (full time) Access to funds to support research expenses (conferences or archive visits) Please follow the application guidelines at: http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/sassstudentshipsft2012 We are looking to recruit candidates who can demonstrate a strong performance in their undergraduate degree (probably first class) as well as a good MA or MSc qualification or equivalent experience. We will, however, consider candidates straight from undergraduate degrees where there is evidence of exceptional academic ability. Informal enquiries regarding research topics can be addressed to Regina Weinert, regina.weinertnorthumbria.ac.uk Applications Deadline: 27-Apr-2012 Web Address for Applications: http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/sassstudentshipsft2012 Contact Information: Professor Regina Weinert regina.weinertnorthumbria.ac.uk This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer.
