strong background in experimental designs (speech production and perception,
in particular), data analyses, and programming (R, Praat, and Python).
Expertise in one or more of the following areas is required: interlanguage
sound systems (loanword phonology, heritage language, and second language
acquisition), sound change and variation, corpus-based research methods, and
computational modeling of phonological systems. Research experience in Korean
phonology and phonetics is highly desirable but not required. 

The initial term of the appointment will be for one year with a possibility of
renewal for another year. The starting salary will be $38,000 per year. The
successful candidate will also participate in the tri-campus graduate
Department of Linguistics at the University of Toronto. 
          
Applications including a cover letter indicating the expected date of
availability and the names and contact information of three references, a CV,
two sample publications, and a one-page summary of research interests and
accomplishments should be sent to Yoonjung Kang (see application email below).
Reference letters will only be requested from shortlisted candidates. Review
of applications will begin on 27 June, 2016, and continue until the position
is filled. The start date is negotiable although a date in the near future
would be preferred. International candidates with strong English language
skills are encouraged to apply.

Employment as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto is covered by

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the 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 Indiana University 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!
