		 MELLON POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP

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, 1997. Candidates
MUST HOLD a Ph.D. in linguistics or a related field by the starting
date. We are seeking candidates in any subfield of linguistics who have
demonstrated success in analyzing primary data (e.g., experimental data,
field data, natural language corpora) and bringing such data to bear on
current 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.
The successful candidate will be expected to participate fully in
Northwestern's vibrant interdisciplinary research environment, as well
as to teach two quarter-length courses per year.

Applications are due at Northwestern by February 14, 1997. The
application should include the candidate's CV (indicating an e-mail
address), a statement of research and teaching interests, reprints or
other written work, teaching evaluations (if available), and the names
of three references. Candidates should have the letters of reference
sent directly to the search committee. Send materials to:
