[Corpora-List] postdoctoral research fellowship in corpus linguistics and second language acquisition

[Nick Ellis]

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 aadel at umich.edu or Dr. Nick Ellis at  
ncellis at umich.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, or to the  
following address:
