nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Description:

The Linguistics Program at Eastern Michigan University seeks to fill a one-year
Visiting Scientist position for the academic year 2005-6.  This position is
suitable for a linguist with demonstrated potential for research excellence in
the area of digital language documentation, computational linguistics, or
language technology.  A secondary specialization in sociolinguistics, typology,
or historical linguistics is desirable. The pay scale for this position is
equivalent to that for a beginning Assistant Professor.  The Visiting
Scientist's primary responsibility will be to aid the Linguistics Program in
enhancing its capabilities in language technology.  The successful candidate
will be expected to contribute to the management and technical development of
The LINGUIST List (http://linguistlist.org) and to the development of  a
Certificate or M.A. in Language Technology.  Depending upon the candidate's
interest and qualifications, he or she may also be asked to aid the program in
developing a speech analysis laboratory, training and supervising students in
multi-media Internet technologies, and securing external funding for
LINGUIST-related projects.  Preference will be given to linguists with
demonstrated knowledge of computational technologies, as well as the design and
administration of Internet facilities.

Eastern Michigan University is a comprehensive university in southeastern
Michigan with approximately 25,000 students and 400 academic majors, minors and
concentrations offered through five degree-granting colleges and a graduate
school.  The Linguistics Program  has a small faculty committed to offering a
competitive general linguistics curriculum at the BA, BS, and MA levels.  The
Linguistics Program is also the primary editing and distribution site of  The
LINGUIST List, an email list and website with 19,500 subscribers in 108
different countries.  We are seeking someone with versatility, able to
contribute to multiple projects and to interact successfully with a diverse
faculty and student body.

Send application letter, CV, complete dossier (including three letters of
recommendation), and a sample of your recent work to Helen Aristar-Dry at the
address below. We will begin screening applications December 10 and continue
until the position is filled. EMU is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
employer; women and minority candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
