Description:

Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Linguistics 
Academic Years 2019-20 and 2020-21 
Cornell University, Ithaca, NY

With the sponsorship of the Society for the Humanities, the Department of
Linguistics invites applications for a two-year Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship
position beginning July 1, 2019.  The fellowship offers a stipend of
$53,000/year. 
 
The Department of Linguistics seeks applications from scholars who take a
linguistic approach to problems of broad humanistic significance. Applicants
might have expertise in any number of subfields including Semantics,
Pragmatics, Historical Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, or
Sociolinguistics. We would like to see candidates who can communicate with and
learn from both linguists and scholars in other fields, including Philosophy,
Literature (critical theory, poetics, metrics, gender studies), History
(post-colonial studies, prehistoric archaeology, human population genetics)
and Anthropology (language documentation, endangerment, and revitalization,
globalization studies).
 
Postdoctoral Fellows teach one course per semester. Candidates should propose
an introductory, 2000-level course designed to appeal to students from across
the University, and an upper, 4000-level course designed primarily for
Linguistics students and advanced undergraduates in related fields. These
courses should be conceived of as smaller seminars and their topics should
directly relate to the candidate’s research and integrate linguistic methods
in the subfields of either Semantics, Pragmatics, Historical Linguistics,
Computational Linguistics, or Sociolinguistics with topics of more general
humanistic import.   

Eligibility Requirements:
Applicants eligible for the Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship for the 2019-20 and
2020-21 academic years include those who have received the Ph.D. degree after
September 1, 2013 and no later than June 30, 2019.  Applicants who do not have
the Ph.D. in hand at the time of application must include a letter from the
committee chair or department stating that the Ph.D. degree will be conferred
before the term of the fellowship begins. International applicants are welcome
to apply, contingent upon visa eligibility.

Application Procedures:
Application materials must be submitted via Academic Jobs Online, at the
application link below, by November 1, 2018.
