Faculty Fellowships at Rice University

[Suzanne Kemmer]

The Linguistics Department at Rice wants to call your attention to the
one-year faculty fellowships described below, for faculty at least 3  
years beyond receipt of Ph.D.
Recipients will be Humanities Center fellows, but will select a host  
department to interact with.
The Humanities Center is in the same building as the Linguistics  
Department, just upstairs.

These are NEH fellowships, and can be billed as such on your CV. If  
you have a
chance to spend a year somewhere else besides your own university,  
Rice is
a great environment to do so.

We have a doctoral program in Linguistics, a great library collection  
and computer facilities, an Electronic
Texts center with lots of linguistic corpora, and a beautiful campus  
with more trees than people.
In addition to 7 full-time faculty and other teaching faculty, and 22  
Linguistics Ph.D. students,
we will also have 2 postdocs in Linguistics next year.  There are  
fewer than 5,000 students at
Rice and a faculty-student ratio of about 9 to 1.

Our department regularly runs conferences and hosts a weekly colloquium
series with many well-known visitors. In Spring 2007 the department  
will host one of our biennial Symposia
on Language, this one organized by Matt Shibatani. See   
www.ruf.rice.edu/~ling
for more info on our department.

If you are interested in interacting outside the classroom with our  
first-rate undergraduates,
we can pursue possibilities for housing in faculty accommodation in  
the residential colleges,
which includes free room and board.
