We’re 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. <BR>
<BR>
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.<BR>
<BR>
The ANA proposal’s 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 master speakers and 5 apprentices – more information will come out on those positions later, but if you are interested, let us know. <BR>
