Description:

The Cornell University Department of Linguistics seeks to recruit a
Postdoctoral Research Associate in experimental linguistics, beginning
in the Summer or Fall of 2023. Candidates should have a PhD in
linguistics or a related discipline by the start date. A strong
background in programming is highly desirable. Interests in
sociolinguistics and game design are a plus.

This position is funded for two years by a Cornell University New
Frontiers Grant. The Postdoc Associate will receive a salary of
$54,480 in the first year with an increase in the second year, along
with fringe benefits. There are no teaching obligations. Time is
allotted for the associate to pursue independent research interests.

The associate will collaborate with P.I. Sam Tilsen (Linguistics) and
a team of undergraduate web engineers to design and develop an online
system for collecting speech data from remote participants while they
play a cooperative map-navigation game. The associate will
subsequently use this system to conduct longitudinal experiments on
the evolution of speech behavior in small networks of speakers.

Required qualifications: PhD in linguistics, cognitive science, or
information science.

Desirable qualifications: Background in programming. Background in
speech recognition.

Applications should be submitted through the link below and should
include a curriculum vitae, cover letter, one or two writing samples,
and names and email addresses of three external referees. Candidates
are invited to provide a statement of Contribution to Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion. Review of applications will begin January 1,
2023. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
