Employment Opportunity: Karuk Language Program Coordinator

[Susan Gehr]

Reminder: The application deadline is 5pm, Friday August 22nd.

Update: We still haven¹t gotten official word, but that is a good sign.

Ayukîi:

We¹re looking to hire a coordinator for the Language Program who would start
later this year, contingent on the funding of our 2008-2011 project proposal
from ANA.  I hope to continue on in a tribal linguist role.

The application deadline is August 22nd, with interviews to take place in
early September.  Contingent on the receipt of an official funding letter,
the coordinator could potentially begin work on September 30th, the first
day of the project.

The ANA proposal¹s project title is the Karuk Master / Apprentice
Documentation Project.  The goal of the project is to document elder and
fluent speakers using younger learners to record spoken language that will
be used to update the dictionary, capture variations in Karuk language among
different villages, and share spoken Karuk via video podcast.  The project
will also be recruiting 5 Karuk master speakers and 5 apprentices.
