Description:

One post-doctoral position is available in the Holliday Lab in the
Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley.
This position is linked to a project funded by the Spencer Foundation
(‘“Don’t Take That Tone With Me”: Linguistic Variation and
Disciplinary Action on African American Children in Schools’) awarded
to Drs. Nicole Holliday (Pomona College, Berkeley) and Sabriya Fisher
(Wellesley). This project investigates the link between use of
prosodic, phonological and morphosyntactic features of African
American English (AAE), and experiences of school discipline. The
postdoctoral researcher will take a leading role in conducting
experimental work, performing data analysis, and managing a team of
research assistants in both the Bay Area and Boston.

The position may be hybrid, but the fellow must be within commuting
distance of UC Berkeley.

A PhD in Linguistics or a related field is required. Applicants should
have training and experience with quantitative variationist
sociolinguistic research. Required skills include familiarity with R
and modern statistical methods in the social sciences, as well as a
scholarly understanding of African American English in Black
communities. Applicants should also have experience with analysis of
phonetic variables, and knowledge of methods for prosodic analysis is
preferred.

The position is available in late Summer/early Fall 2024 (start date
flexible) and is for a period of one year. The position is open to US
citizens.
Candidates should contact Nicole Holliday via email
(nicole.holliday at pomona.edu). Please submit a CV, research statement,
two samples of written work and the names and affiliations of three
recommenders (who may be contacted later).  Review of materials will
begin on April 30, 2024 and will continue until the position is
filled.

The University of California, Berkeley is an Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
