 ==========================================================================
The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html.

This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment
standards of various countries.

RICE UNIVERSITY
THE CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF CULTURES
THE ANDREW W. MELLON FOUNDATION
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM, 2004-06

Rice University and the Center for the Study of Cultures announce the
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation PostdoctoralFellowship Program designed to
encourage interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching. Two postdoctoral
fellows will be selected for a two-year appointment beginning July 1,
2004 at a stipend of $36,000 per year plus $2,000 moving and research
fund. Fellows will teach two courses per academic year, will be
expected to make significant progress in their research, and will also
participate in the intellectual life of relevant departments,programs,
and Center research groups.  While candidates will be affiliated with
an appropriate department in the humanities or social sciences, we are
particularly interested in candidates whose interests are
interdisciplinary. The categories are therefore open in terms of
disciplinary approach. We anticipate making appointments in one or two
areas of specialization which include:
- Gender, Culture and Language -- Potential areas of research include
  but are not limited to gender and science, gender and religion,
  gender and language, transnational movements, and intersections of
  race and gender in literature.
- Interdisciplinary Approaches to Consciousness and Thought -- The
  study of the human mind from a multidisciplinary perspective,
  integrating ideas at the crossroads of philosophy, psychology, and
  linguistics. Areas of interest may include the nature and
  functioning of consciousness,cognitive models and structures, the
  basis of human reason, and the relation of thought and language.


Eligibility: Ph.D. degree received 2001 or after. Applicants who will
receive the Ph.D. degree by July 1, 2004 are eligible to apply. If the
Ph.D. is not complete at the time of the application, a letter of
confirmation must be received from the committee chair or department
stating that the candidate will have the Ph.D. degree by July 1,
2004.

   during fellowship period (max. three single-spaced pages)
