Post-bachelors Research Positions in Linguistics/Cognitive Science
As part of a new initiative in undergraduate research, the Department of Linguistics at the University of Maryland is pleased to announce the Baggett Fellowship Program, which offers intensive year-long research experiences for students who are US citizens or permanent residents who have completed a bachelors degree.
One-year Baggett Fellowships are full-time positions intended for individuals with a BA or BS degree who are interested in gaining significant research experience in an active interdisciplinary environment before pursuing graduate study in some area of linguistics or cognitive science. Applicants should be US citizens or permanent residents, and should have completed a BA or BS degree or equivalent by the time of appointment (Summer or Fall 2006). There are no restrictions on where the fellow received the bachelor's degree. One or two fellowship positions are available for the 2006-2007 year. Salary is competitive, with benefits included.
The Department of Linguistics has well-integrated research groups in theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics, and computational linguistics that are engaged in research on a wide variety of areas of language, ranging from acoustics to semantics, in children and adults, in both typical and atypical populations. In addition to its expertise in theoretical linguistics, the department has outstanding facilities for multidisciplinary research on language, including MEG and EEG brain-recording facilities, eye-tracking labs, an infant lab and an on-campus lab preschool, plus tools for a variety of other experimental and computational approaches. Information on the department can be found at http://www.ling.umd.edu.
Applicants should submit (i) a cover letter, describing relevant experience and interests, (ii) a current CV, (iii) names of 3 potential references, and (iv) a writing sample. Fuller information can be found on the Baggett Fellows web page. All materials should be sent electronically to Jeff Lidz (jlidzumd.edu Website: http://www.ling.umd.edu/baggett
