Description:

One post-doctoral position is available in the Holliday lab in the Department
of Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania. This position is linked to a
project funded by the Spencer Foundation (‘“Don’t Take That Tone With Me”:
Linguistic Variation and Disciplinary Action on African American Children in
Schools’) awarded to Drs. Nicole Holliday (Penn) and Sabriya Fisher
(Wellesley). This project investigates the link between use of prosodic,
phonological and morphosyntactic features of African American English (AAE),
and experiences of school discipline. The postdoctoral researcher will take a
leading role in designing and conducting experimental work, conducting data
analysis, and managing a team of research assistants in both Philadelphia and
Boston.

A PhD in Linguistics or a related field is required. Applicants should have
training and experience with quantitative variationist sociolinguistic
research. Required skills include familiarity with R and modern statistical
methods in the social sciences, as well as a scholarly understanding of
African American English in Black communities. Applicants should also have
experience with analysis of phonetic variables, and knowledge of methods for
prosodic analysis is preferred.

The postdoctoral researcher is expected to participate fully in the
intellectual life of the Department. The researcher is also expected to
contribute to the vibrant interdisciplinary group of cognitive scientists at
Penn that includes faculty, postdocs and students in Linguistics, Psychology,
Neuroscience, Computer Science, Philosophy, Education and related disciplines.
The position is available in late Summer/early Fall 2022 (start date flexible)
and is for an initial period of one year with potential extension for an
additional year. The position is open to U.S. citizens and those authorized to
work in the U.S.

Please apply via the application link below. Interested candidates should
submit a CV, research statement, two samples of written work and the names and
affiliations of three recommenders (who may be contacted later).  The
University will contact the recommenders directly with instructions on how to
submit their letters. Review of materials will begin on April 15, 2022 and
will continue until the position is filled.



Application Deadline: 15-Apr-2022 (Open until filled)
