within the last five years. They should have experience of linguistic
fieldwork and will, ideally, have already completed a grammatical description
of some previously undescribed language (not their native language) in terms of
basic linguistic theory. The University may consider cases in which the
period is in excess of five years due to </span></font><span lang=EN-AU>sp</span><span

whose thesis is currently under examination. Applicants must hold a
doctoral degree or have equivalent qualifications at the date of
appointment. La Trobe graduates should normally have a minimum of two
years postdoctoral research experience at another institution. A
Fellowship will not normally be awarded to an applicant who holds a permanent
appointment within the University.</span></p>

with Professor Alexandra Y. Aikhenvald, Professor R.M.W. Dixon, and other
members of the Research Centre, on a topic relating to languages preferably
from South America (although applicants with primary interest in another area
would be considered). They will undertake extensive fieldwork and will either
(i) produce a comprehensive description of some previously undescribed
language; or (ii) pursue an in-depth study of a language contact situation.
Option (ii) will be suitable for someone who already has good knowledge of one
or more of the languages involved in a suitable contact situation. The
choice of project will be made after discussion between the successful
applicant and Professors Aikhenvald and </span></font><span lang=EN-AU>Dixon</span><span
