DE Vincenzi Psycholinguistics Postdoctoral Fellowship

The De Vincenzi Foundation announces a 1-year fellowship, $33,000 
plus economy air fare, for Italian students to pursue post-doctoral 
study preferably in the US or in another country (Italy excluded), 
beginning September 1, 2010. The fellowship is for study and research 
in the area of grammatically-oriented psycholinguistics at an 
institution of the applicant's choice. Applications should be 
received by February 28, 2010 and it is expected that a decision will 
be announced by April 14, 2010.

Applications should be submitted electronically, in English, and 
should include:
-CV, including evidence of competence in spoken English
-A four-page statement of purpose describing the proposed plan of 
study/research
-Papers, reports, Ph.D dissertation written in English or Italian by 
the candidate. If the dissertation was written in Italian, the 
candidate should provide a 12 page summary maximum 
(shorter  encouraged) written in English.
-The name and contact information for a sponsor at the University or 
research centre chosen, accompanied by a letter of agreement from the 
sponsor indicating the individual's willingness to serve as a sponsor 
if the fellowship is awarded

Receipt of all submitted material will be acknowledged by email.

The De Vincenzi Foundation was established in the will of the late 
Italian psycholinguist Marica De Vincenzi for the support of young 
Italian scholars who intend to carry out research abroad in the 
domain of grammatically-oriented psycholinguistics preferably at US 
institutions (but other countries, except for Italy, are eligible) 
and preferably
to do research on questions concerning sentence or discourse level 
processing.. The primary criteria used in evaluating fellowship 
applications are the impact on the applicant's career development and 
on psycholinguistics in Italy more broadly. Applications will be 
judged based on candidates' past record and future potential, the 
suitability  of the host lab, and the feasibility and impact of the proposed
research, including (where appropriate) plans for applying for 
postdoctoral funding beyond the initial fellowship year.

The scientific committee includes Lyn Frazier as president, Maria 
Teresa Guasti as vice-president, Janet Dean Fodor, Colin Phillips, 
Luigi Rizzi, and Sandro Zucchi. Head of the administrative board is Remo Job.
