The Department of Linguistics, University of Maryland, invites applications

The postdoctoral associate will be expected to participate actively in
research on meaning, especially as it relates to language acquisition.
Computational, psycholinguistic, or developmental expertise are especially

position. 

The postdoctoral associate will also be expected to teach two courses during
the academic year - one at the undergraduate level and one for graduate
students. The postdoctoral associate will also be expected to participate
fully in the research life of the department, attending lab meetings and
colloquia, working with students and developing new ideas. Information about
the department can be found at http://ling.umd.edu. 

Applicants should submit a single .pdf file containing the following items (in
the order listed): a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a research statement,
up to 2 sample publications, and evidence of teaching experience and
effectiveness. In addition, applicants should arrange for three confidential
letters of reference to be sent directly to the application email address
below. For best consideration, completed applications and reference letters
should be received by March 16, 2018.

action employer, complies with all applicable federal and state laws and
