Applications are being accepted for a full-time postdoctoral research

by Craig Chambers at the University of Toronto Mississauga. Applicants must
have a Ph.D. in a relevant field of study (e.g., Psychology, Linguistics,
Cognitive Science), excellent writing skills, and advanced training in
experimental design and statistics. Special attention will be given to
candidates with expertise in semantic and pragmatic aspects of real-time

benefit.

The successful candidate will become a member of the Human Communication (HC)

Starting salary will be $40,000. Initial funding will be provided for one

participate in a research program exploring aspects of real-time spoken
language interpretation in adults:

that opportunities to gain teaching experience could be arranged. 

Interested candidates should submit a CV, a short statement of interest (<500
words), a sample first-authored publication, and the names of two potential
referees. Reference letters will only be requested from shortlisted
candidates. Application materials should be submitted directly to Craig
Chambers (email below). Review of applications will begin immediately and will
continue until a candidate is identified. The start date is negotiable

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). 
For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial 
advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
