With funding from an NSF Learning and Intelligent Systems grant, the
Department of Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University is
offering a post-doctoral fellowship in linguistics.  We seek
candidates who will contribute to and complement the department's
current areas of research on generative linguistics (see
http://www.cog.jhu.edu/ for further information about the department).
Particularly encouraged to apply are candidates who combine research
in syntax or its interfaces with semantics, morphology, and prosody
with work in language acquisition, language processing, and/or
formal/computational modeling.

The appointment will initially be made for one year, with the
possibility of renewal for an additional year.  The first year's
salary will be in the low to mid $20K's.

Interested applicants should send a statement of interests and a CV to
the following address:

	Robert Frank
	LIS Postdoc Search
	Department of Cognitive Science
	Johns Hopkins University
	3400 N. Charles Street
	Baltimore, MD 21218

Applicants should also have three referees send letters of
recommendation to this address.  To guarantee full consideration,
materials should be received by April 21st.

Johns Hopkins University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Employer and encourages women and minorities to apply.

Columbia is looking for a Director of the Language Resource Center, a
new entity being financed in part by a grant from Mellon Foundation.
The Director will also have responsibility for the Media Support
Center, which functions as the Columbia language laboratory, the Music
Humanities Listening Facility, and the facility where students in Film
Studies can find videotapes for viewing.  The position is available
effective July 1, 1998.

Initially the Language Resource Center will be located on the 100
level of Lewisohn Hall, though it is expected that within a year or
two the Center will move to new facilities adjacent to the Lehman
Library in the School of International and Public Affairs where new
language laboratory facilities will also be relocated.

As Chair of the Search Committee, I want to make every effort to be
sure that qualified and interested persons both within Columbia and
without know of the position which has been advertised in the New York
Times and the Chronicle for Higher Education.  Please ask any
interested persons to submit their resume no later than mid-April,
1998.  Applications should be sent to:

  Director, Language Resource Center Search
  Dean's Office, Continuing Education & Special Programs
  Columbia University
  2970 Broadway
  303 Lewisohn Hall  -- Mailcode 4110
  New York, NY 10027

I would appreciate your passing along a copy of this letter with its
attached job description to language faculty or anyone else of whom
you may know who might be interested.
