Description:

We wish to provide advanced notice of the availability of University of Canterbury 
Doctoral Scholarships, which are tenable in the University of Canterbury Department 
of Linguistics in Christchurch, New Zealand.
 
Linguistics at the University of Canterbury houses several large corpora, including the 
ONZE corpus (Origins of New Zealand English). The program is part of the New 
Zealand Institute of Language, Brain and Behaviour (NZILBB), and as such, presents 
substantial opportunities for multi-disciplinary research 
(http://www.nzilbb.canterbury.ac.nz).   NZILBB also houses a variety of state-of-the-
art equipment, including Ultrasound, Electromagnetic Articulography, EEG, and 3D 
motion tracking.
 
UC Scholarships provide NZ$20,000/year for three years, and cover the university 
fees. There are no restrictions on regional origin of the applicants. The application 
deadline is May 15.  Very highly ranked applicants for UC scholarships are awarded 
Canterbury Scholarships or UC International  Doctoral Scholarships, which provide 
NZ$25,000/year + fees.
 
If you are an interested candidate, but there is a compelling reason why the May 
deadline is impractical for you, please get in touch to discuss.  For exceptional 
applicants facing time pressures, and needing to choose between competing offers, 
scholarship offers can sometimes be made ahead of the UC deadline via the New 
Zealand Institute of Language, Brain and Behaviour. 
  
The PhD at the University of Canterbury is by thesis only, and potential candidates 
should, in the first instance, make contact with a potential supervisor.
 
The currently available supervisors in the linguistics department are:   Lynn Clark, Jen 
Hay, Beth Hume, Heidi Quinn and Kevin Watson.   
 
Lynn Clark - language variation & change, sociophonetics, usage-based models of 
language 
http://www.lacl.canterbury.ac.nz/people/ling_people/clark.shtml
Jen Hay - sociophonetics, laboratory phonology, morphology, lexical representation, 
NZ English
