Postdoctoral Research Position in Corpus Linguistics & Second Language
Acquisition

University of Michigan, English Language Institute 

  

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 in
the first instance, with a starting date between September and November,
2008. 

 

Applicants should be well-versed in corpus-linguistic methodology, and will
be expected to assist with corpus analysis as well as corpus design and
compilation. Additionally, ideal candidates should have expertise in second
language acquisition (or possibly psycholinguistics), particularly with
regard to the acquisition of vocabulary, phraseology, collocation, pattern
grammar, construction grammar, or pragmatics.

In accordance with ELI tradition, we are seeking a candidate who is
interested in creating corpus-based resources (including multi-modal
corpora) 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 EAP 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. Ute Römer at uroemer at umich.edu or
Dr. Nick C. Ellis at ncellis at umich.edu. The deadline for application is
March 3, 2008. We welcome both U.S. and international applications.
Applications may be submitted as e-mail attachments.
