Job Title: Researcher in speech production
Job Rank: Post Doc

Specialty Areas: Phonetics 


Description:

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in phonetics in the
Department of Linguistics at the University of Michigan, with the focus on
speech production. The initial appointment is for one year, with the
possibility of renewal for a second year.  A Ph.D. in Linguistics or a related
discipline is required, as well as experience with speech articulation and
preferably with electromagnetic articulometry (EMA).  Expertise in programing
is required, and experience with MATLAB and signal processing is helpful.

The department is in the process of setting up dual Carstens electromagnetic
articulometry (EMA) systems for studying conversational interaction and speech
production in general. The primary responsibility of the successful applicant
will be to assist with all aspects of conducting EMA experiments (participant
recruitment, preparing and running experiments,  post-processing, and
write-up), and managing the EMA lab in general.  The applicant will also be
encouraged to work on their own research projects and to interact with the
university's wider research environment. This includes a large phonetics
community (with work conducted in both production and perception), and
students and faculty in Linguistics, Psychology, and the new Weinberg
Institute for Cognitive Science.  In addition to EMA, laboratory facilities in
the Department of Linguistics include eye tracking, ultrasound, oral/nasal
airflow, EGG, and EEG.

A cover letter explaining qualifications for the position, a CV, a research
statement (up to two pages), and one or more (up to three) representative
publications, manuscripts, or dissertation chapters should be sent to the
email address below. Please arrange to have three letters of recommendation
sent to that address.  The starting date of the postdoctoral position is 15
September, 2016.

Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. The University of Michigan is an
equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.



Application Deadline: 28-Jun-2016 (Open until filled)

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!
