Description:

The University of Kansas (KU) Linguistics Department has several fellowships
that will be available in the 2017-2018 academic year. All doctoral students
who are admitted to the program will be offered five-year packages that
include graduate teaching or research assistantship positions. 

We will be able to award one Diversity Fellowship, the goal of which is to
increase the diversity of the graduate student community at the University of
Kansas. Eligible candidates include promising domestic applicants from
underrepresented racial and ethnic backgrounds, as well as other diverse
populations such as first-generation college graduates. Fellowship packages
include five years of guaranteed financial support. Each Fellow is appointed
as a Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) during the first year, allowing for
early engagement in research. The Linguistics Department will appoint the
Fellow as either a GRA or Graduate Teaching Assistant in the remaining four
years with a tuition waiver.

About Linguistics at the University of Kansas

The Linguistics Department at KU has undergone significant changes in the past
decade to position itself as a unique program that unites linguistic theory
and experimental research. We have particular strengths in experimental
phonetics and phonology, first and second language acquisition, developmental
psycholinguistics, second language psycholinguistics and neurolinguistics, the
cognitive neuroscience of language, linguistic fieldwork, and theoretical
semantics. Our faculty members and graduate students study a broad range of
languages including understudied language varieties in Asia and the Americas.
The department has six active research labs, which have all successfully
competed for external funding and provide support for graduate studies. The
department has both head-mounted and remote eye trackers, an EEG laboratory,
and on the KU medical center campus, cortical MEG, fetal MEG and MRI systems.
We offer both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees. The Linguistics faculty is committed to
excellence in mentoring and provides support for graduate students in several
ways including weekly research seminars and frequent opportunities for
advising. Students are actively encouraged and mentored to present their work
at conferences, publish research in journals, and submit applications for
external grant funding.
