>The Department of Comparative Human Development invites applications for a

>language and comparative human development.  The Department operates an
>interdisciplinary research and graduate training program in the Division of
>the Social Sciences, specializing in the biosocial and psychocultural study
>of human development over the life span.  We seek a broadly trained scholar
>interested in the role of language in development within social
>interactional and/or cultural comparative contexts. Particular
>specialization is less important than a demonstrated capacity to engage in
>innovative research and substantive multidisciplinary dialogue.  Relevant
>specializations might include, but are not limited to, language as a
>mediator of socialization, multilingualism, creolization and
>grammaticization processes, development of narrative or discursive skills,
>first and/or second language acquisition (in comparative perspective),
>language and the constitution of self (including cognitive and affective
>dimensions), and the psychological and sociological aspects of the
>specialized uses of language in institutional settings (e.g., clinic,
>classroom, etc.).
>
>Please submit a letter of application, vita, a list of referees, and any
