This all expenses paid program will bring talented undergraduate and MA students to Ann Arbor for a 14-day workshop to help you prepare to apply to a PhD in Linguistics, and to give you an overview of the opportunities and resources available for students at the University of Michigan, including Linguistics.  You will meet with faculty and PhD students to talk about research in linguistics, and will have the opportunity to work on your own research project under the guidance of U-M Linguistics faculty and current PhD students.  The event will also include a graduate application workshop and social gatherings with faculty and current graduate students from Linguistics and other disciplines.

Description:
The application deadline is February 9, 2018.  See link for application

this information away to two faculty you think could recommend you, so that
they already know you are interested in applying.

paid by MICHHERS.

This summer program will take place from June 11 to June 23, 2018.  We seek
rising seniors, bachelor’s degree holders, and those currently in M.A.
programs, particularly those from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented
in graduate education who are planning on pursuing a Ph.D. in Linguistics. 
Application open to U.S. citizens, permanent residents or non-U.S. citizens
with DACA.  

Linguistics has participated in the MICHHERS program since it started five
years ago, and it has now been expanded to a full two-week internship,
including additional benefits, with the support of a grant from the Andrew
Mellon Foundation.

Applicants interested in syntax, semantics, phonetics, neurolinguistics,
language contact or sign language research are especially encouraged to apply,
since available faculty mentors are more likely to be available in these
areas.

Please contact us at rackmichhers at umich.edu if you have any questions. We look
forward to your application.
