Post-Baccalaureate Associate, Linguistics

Location

New Haven, CT

Open Date

Dec 15, 2023

Description

The Department of Linguistics is seeking to hire a post-baccalaureate associate for academic year 2024-2025, to work with Prof. Claire Bowern on linguistics research and outreach. The job is full time and includes benefits. Activities will include research in language documentation and language change, managing the historical linguistics lab, and designing and implementing outreach and community-oriented materials. The position is for one year, potentially renewable for a second year. The position begins in August or early September, 2024.

Qualifications

This position would be ideal for someone who is planning on going to graduate school in linguistics. An undergraduate degree (BA/BSc or equivalent) is required by the start date. Students who have already begun a PhD program are not eligible.

I am particularly looking for students with some experience in phonetics, computational linguistics, or the tech side of language documentation (e.g. computational tools for language documentation or under-resourced languages), as the projects the lab is currently working on focus on those areas.

Application Instructions

Application materials:

• Current CV
• University transcripts (unofficial transcripts are acceptable)
• Personal and academic statement of 1-2 pages, including why you would like to work in this position, relevant academic background, what you intend to do afterwards, and any other personal or academic information which you would like to have considered
• One or two writing samples (the samples you would submit to applications for graduate school are acceptable)
• Names and contact details of two referees (do not send recommendations at this time)

For full consideration, please submit applications by Friday, January 26, 2024. Candidates will be interviewed in early-February and a decision made by mid-February. For further information please contact Claire Bowern (claire.bowern@yale.edu).
