CeLCAR will provide the developers with compensation in line with qualifications and as benchmarks are met. Successful applicants will also be expected to participate as instructors in IU’s well-known eight-week intensive summer program (with additional pay), and participate in pre- and post-session workshops. Graduate students specializing in language education/language acquisition are also invited to apply, and may be given a GA position.
