The Department of Applied Linguistics at the University of Massachusetts
Boston invites applications for a temporary non-benefitted postdoctoral
researcher in applied linguistics under the direction of Drs. Avary

Science research by the time of appointment. Research experience with
linguistically diverse students in school settings is a plus, but not

in other languages will also be considered.

interests describing qualitative and quantitative research skills, a
curriculum vitae, 2 articles, and three recommenders.

- Full-time, 40 hours/week.
- Hourly rate: $20.19/hour, based on NSF/NIH guidelines.
