Subject: Postdoctoral Fellowships 2019-20

 
The Columbia School Linguistic Society (henceforth the Society) invites
applications from holders of Ph.D.'s in linguistics or related areas for two
types of postdoctoral awards:  (1) Postdoctoral Scholarship; and (2)
Postdoctoral Residential Fellowship. Successful applicants (awardees) will
undertake a linguistic research project from the perspective of Columbia
School linguistics (henceforth CS).

The research project undertaken by each awardee will address a grammatical,
lexical, or phonological problem, or a problem in another area of linguistics,
studied from the perspective of CS. All awardees must be holders of the Ph.D. 
There will be (at most) one awardee of the Postdoctoral Residential
Fellowship, who must reside in New York City or its surrounds during the time
of the Fellowship. (Note however that the Society cannot provide assistance
with visas or health insurance that may be required.) The Society will make
every effort to make a mentor available in cases where this is appropriate. 

Financial Information:

Awards will cover the period from September 1, 2019 to August 31, 2020. The
Postdoctoral Residential Fellow will receive a stipend of $65,000; awardees of
the Postdoctoral Scholarship will receive a stipend of between $10,000 and
$20,000. All stipends are calculated on the basis of a 12-month calendar year.
Stipend payments will be made on a quarterly basis. Paid membership in the
Society is included with all awards. 

Application:

The application consists of a statement of the problem, an account of existing
analyses under CS and other theoretical approaches, a brief preliminary review
of the relevant literature, and a description of the data to be used. The
application is not to exceed 10 double-spaced pages written in 12-point font. 

Applicants should indicate whether they are in a position to be considered for
the Postdoctoral Residential Fellowship, and should provide the names of two
references. The application should include the applicant's CV, including
telephone number and email address, and the name of the graduate school where
the Ph.D. was obtained. The CV is not included in the page limit for the
application.

Applicants who have received funding from the Society in the past must include
with the new application a report on previous funding.  See below for
information regarding the format of the report, which is not counted in the
page limit for the new application. 
 
The deadline for receipt of proposals is May 31, 2019. Proposals will be
reviewed by members of the Society’s Executive Committee, assisted by such
additional reviewers as they may deem appropriate. The Society will make every
effort to notify applicants by the end of June 2019. The application must be
submitted electronically to Professor Alan Huffman of the City University of
New York. His email address is ah620 at columbia.edu.

Requirements of the Awards:

The recipient of the Residential Postdoctoral Fellowship is expected to live
in NYC or its surrounds for the period of the fellowship.  Each award
recipient is expected to:

- be an active supporter of the Society in all activities pursuant to its
mission
- participate on a regular basis in the CS Society Seminar in NYC
(non-residential awardees have the option of participating remotely)
- consult with other CS scholars
- be the lead presenter at the Society Seminar once in the Fall and once in
the Spring
- provide a written year-end progress report detailing the state of the
analysis at the end of the fellowship period. The report should be in the
format of a paper being prepared for publication. 
- make every effort to publish results in a recognized academic venue
(publications resulting from the Fellowship should acknowledge the support of
the Society and copies should be sent to members of the Society's Executive
Committee). 
- The report is due no later than August 31, 2020. It should be submitted to
Professor Huffman (ah620 at columbia.edu).
