PostDoctoral Fellowship: readvertised

[Alexandra Y. Aikhenvald]

RCLT POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP 2004

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

Applications are invited for a three-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowship
in the Research Centre for Linguistic Typology.  This is to commence on 1st
July 2004 (or soon thereafter).

Applicants should have been awarded their doctorates within the last five
years.  The University may consider cases in which the period is in excess
of five years due to special circumstances. Applications will be considered
from candidates whose thesis is currently under examination.  Applicants
must hold a doctoral degree or have equivalent qualifications at the date
of appointment. La Trobe graduates should normally have a minimum of two
years postdoctoral research experience at another institution.  A
Fellowship will not normally be awarded to an applicant who holds a
permanent appointment within the University.

The Fellowship will be a three-year appointment and is intended to advance
the research activities of the University by bringing to or retaining in
Australia a promising scholar.

Enquiries should be directed initially to the Associate Director of RCLT,
Professor Alexandra Aikhenvald (email a.aikhenvald at latrobe.edu.au, phone
