Corrected Rice Job Announcements

[Katherine Crosswhite]

Dear Colleagues,

The job announcements I recently posted for our child language 
acquisition and lecturer positions contained some incorrect information. 
  Here are the corrected announcements.  The corrections include:  (1) 
PhD is required before the position start date (not at time of 
application) and (2) position start date is July 1.

---------------------------------

The Department of Linguistics at Rice University is now accepting
applications for a postdoctoral scholar in the field of child language
acquisition. This is a one-year position, renewable by mutual agreement
for a second year.

Responsibilities of the position include teaching one course per
semester and pursuing research. Position start date is July 1, 2007.
A Ph.D. in Linguistics, Psychology, or other pertinent allied field,
with primary specialization in child language acquisition, is required
before the position start date.

We especially welcome applications from researchers who share the
department's interest in approaching language from a usage-based
perspective with solid empirical grounding in primary data, especially
approaches of a cognitive, social-interactional, and/or functional
nature. See also our departmental web site at http://ling.rice.edu.

Although we will not be conducting formal interviews for this position
at the LSA meeting in Anaheim, representatives of the department will be
in attendance at the meeting and would be pleased to answer questions
about the position or our department.

Application materials include: cover letter, research statement, sample
of written work, past teaching evaluations (if available), and three
letters of reference.  Application deadline is Jan. 15, 2007.  Address
