Description:
The English Language Institute at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, is inviting applications for a postdoctoral research fellowship in corpus linguistics and second language acquisition. The position is for one year with the possibility of renewal for an additional year, with a starting date between September and December, 2006.
Applicants should be well-versed in corpus-linguistic methodology, and will be expected to assist with corpus design as well as corpus tools. Additionally, the candidate should have expertise in second language acquisition (or possibly psycholinguistics), particularly with regard to the acquisition of vocabulary, phraseology, collocation, construction grammar, or pragmatics.
In accordance with ELI tradition, we are seeking a candidate who is interested in creating corpus-based resources for the linguistic research community as well as for teachers and students world-wide. Furthermore, the candidate would be encouraged to use ELI corpora, such as MICASE (the Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken English) and MICUSP (the Michigan Corpus of Upper-level Student Papers, currently under development), as a basis for developing teaching and testing materials.
To apply, please send CV and cover letter emphasizing relevant background, including contact information for two references. For additional information or informal inquiries, please contact Dr. Annelie Adel at aadelunich.edu. The deadline for application is September 10, 2006. We welcome both U.S. and international applications.
Applications may be submitted as e-mail attachments.
