Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Maryland, is looking to

research experience in a very active research group as preparation for a
research career. Applicants must already have permission to work in the US, or
be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, and should have completed a BA or

a wide variety of people (and machines) is a distinct advantage. Applicants
may request to be considered for all three positions.

Positions #1–#2: Baggett Research Fellowships

Baggett Fellowships are full-time positions. Fellows can pursue research in
linguistics, cognitive (neuro-)science of language, language acquisition, or
computational modeling. Up to 2 positions are available for 2021-2022.
Positions are for one year and are not renewable.
Further details for the Baggett Fellowships:

Position #3: Research Assistant in Psycholinguistics/Cognitive Neuroscience
This person will be involved in all aspects of studies of language
comprehension and production using behavioral and neuroscientific techniques,
including electrophysiological brain recordings (training provided). The
person will also contribute to Maryland's Language Science program. Previous
experience in (psycho)linguistics preferred. 1 year initial appointment,
possibility of extension.
Contact: Dr. Colin Phillips (colin at umd.edu)

Application Dates:
The positions are open until filled. For best consideration, applications
should be submitted by May 3, 2021. However, review of applications will begin
immediately, and candidates are encouraged to inquire as early as possible.

Applicants must submit:
