of three-year postdoctoral positions for the first phase of the Centre’s
activities, to start from late 2014 through to mid 2015. Each of these
positions is open to international competition, will be based in the University
most appropriate to their project (UWS, UQ, UMelb or ANU), and will be selected
by a subset of the Centre’s personnel. These positions are primarily
research-based, offering the possibility of substantial freedom of research
within the broad ambit of the Centre and its programs. They come with
appropriate research setup and ongoing research support costs (e.g. fieldwork
support for field-based positions), and offer some possibilities for limited
teaching. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br><span lang="EN-US"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color:rgb(39,78,19)"><span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)">Our temporary website (<a href="http://dynamicsoflanguage.edu.au" target="_blank">dynamicsoflanguage.edu.au</a>) is experiencing a few problems.
