Research Fellowships in Linguistics
The Graduate School of Language Sciences at Kanda University of
International Studies (KUIS) has recently launched a linguistics
project that involves research in theoretical linguistics and related
areas such as psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and computational
linguistics. This project is supported by a Grant-in-Aid for COE (=
Center of Excellence) Research of the Japanese Ministry of
Education. KUIS hosts two post-doctoral positions for this project,
and invites applications for these positions.
Location: Graduate School of Language Sciences, Kanda University of
International Studies, Makuhari, Chiba, Japan (45 minutes from the
center of Tokyo) .
Application Deadlines:
May 8, 1977 for the term of September 1997 to August 1998.
Period: For one year.
Qualification: Ph.D. obtained by the time of appointment (strictly
required); or Ph.D. received within the past four years. Junior
faculty members are eligible if they can take a leave from their
institution for the term of the grant.
(NOTE: These positions are supported by the Japan Society for the
Promotion of Science (JSPS), and the awards are finalized on their
approval. JSPS requires the grantees to be under 35 years of age when
the term starts.)
Specialization: Any area of theoretical linguistics (e.g., Syntax,
Semantics, Morphology, Phonology) or related areas (e.g.,
Psycholinguistics, Neurolinguistics, Computational linguistics).
Nationality: non-Japanese.
Roles and Duties: The purpose of our project is to develop our
linguistics research not only in theory construction but also in
theory application and verification. We are especially interested in
collaboration with psycholinguistics (language acquisition in
particular), neurolinguistics, and computational linguistics. The
grantees are expected to take part in our project by, for example,
presenting their work in seminars and colloquia and attending our
project meetings. There will be ample time to further develop their
own research and/or to revise their dissertation for publication.
Stipend: 270,000 yen (approximately 2,500 dollars) a month (over 3
million yen (approximately 30 thousand dollars) a year) for living;
plus 200,000 yen (a little less than 2,000 dollars) for settling
in. In addition, up to 800,000 yen (7,500 dollars) for research
purposes will be supplied by the Ministry of Education if an
application is filed and accepted.
(NOTE: Housing will be supplied by KUIS as described below. Though the
living costs in Japan (the Tokyo area in particular) are high, 3
million yen a year will be enough for a decent life because housing is
taken care of.)
Other privileges: A furnished apartment within a short distance of the
university; an office room; a round trip air ticket to and from Tokyo;
internet access; free use of a personal computer and other research
facilities including the university library.
Send a letter of application, CV (nationality and date of birth must be
