Distance Education ESL Endorsement Program (DEEEP). Preferably, the
successful candidate will have administrative experience in distance
education, public school administration, university and/or public
school teaching, and a background in TESOL. An M.A. in a closely

Program, school district administrators, instructional technology
staff, and local school teachers.
Duties of the position include, but are not limited to:

public,
2) managing and administering the program, including maintaining
accurate program records,
3) managing the multi-million dollar budget, including accounting and
reporting procedures,
4) commitment to continuing professional development in ESL/Bilingual
education and distance education,
5) overall coordination of all constituencies.
The Project Director must be willing to commit to a four-year
non-tenure (12-month) contract, contingent upon a successful annual
performance evaluation. The start date is as soon as possible.

RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIPS IN THEORETICAL LINGUISTICS
We are seeking applications from creative, highly motivated, and
committed individuals to do research leading to a doctoral degree in the
area of theoretical linguistics. Our current reseach program focuses on
what we call grammatical semantics, with special emphasis on lexical
semantics. For details, see our home pages (addresses given below).
Applicants must have at least some familiarity with syntax, semantics,
phonology, and morphology, and can construct and evaluate linguistic
analyses in at least two of these domains. Candidates must have a good
command of English.
Successful applicants will be admitted to the Department of English
Language and Literature (DELL) at the National University of Singapore
(NUS). Ph.D. students are eligible for a scholarship of S$1400 per month
(ample to cover living expenses) and a waiver of the tuition fees. For
more details, see the NUS home page: http://www.nus.sg/
If you wish to apply, please send a copy of your CV to either of us, with
a covering letter explaining why you are interested in applying, and
giving details of your research interests/ experience, and background. If
possible, enclose any papers that you have written in linguistics.
