interdisciplinary research program across areas related to the study of  
language and analysis.

Job description: Develop research proposals; oversee all research in  
the candidate's area; serve as Principal Investigator on several  
research projects annually; organize national symposia and conferences  
in support of the Center's research; and publish on aspects of the

interdisciplinary research annually.  Identify and recruit senior, mid,  
and junior researchers as Center employees and consultants.  Form  
partnerships with other top research institutions, both in academia and

hiring, collaboration, research publication, education, and policy  
strategy with respect to the candidate's research area.

The Center for Advanced Study of Language was established in March  
2003.  Its mission is to conduct state-of-the-art research in areas  
that result in improved performance on language tasks relevant to the  
work of government language professionals.  The main interests include:  
(1) improving knowledge of less commonly taught languages; (2)  
enhancing acquisition and maintenance of foreign language capability by  
government professionals, especially at the advanced levels; (3)  
advancing the U.S. capacity to use foreign language skills in a wide  
variety of government professions and situations; (4) improving the  
quality of human language technology.

The Center is seeking people who will play a leading role in the  
strategic direction of CASL and will be in charge of multiple research  
projects in their field.  Candidates' research and publications should  
show evidence of ability to tackle complex, interdisciplinary research  
and to work collaboratively with a range of institutions and  
researchers.  They should have a record of successfully hiring,  
mentoring, and overseeing both junior and senior researchers.

  To apply, send a letter of application and curriculum vitae to Chief  
Research Officer, c/o Meredith Price, CASL, at mprice at casl.umd.edu.
