phonological acquisition (see http://ling.osu.edu/~edwards for a detailed
description of the project). The post-doctoral position is located in the
Department of Communicative Disorders at the University of Wisconsin in Madison,
WI. The traineeship, funded by a National Institutes of Health training grant,
will be available in September, 2005 (with some flexibility in the start date).
The position requires that the candidate be a US citizen or have a green card.
The University of Wisconsin has a strong cognitive science faculty and the Waisan
Center at UW offers post-docs a series of lectures and seminars and the
opportunity to interact with other post-docs, doctoral students, and faculty in
a multi-disciplinary environment.
The post-doc will be directly supervised by Dr. Jan Edwards to work on a project
that is going to run jointly at two sites - the University of Wisconsin (with
Dr. Jan Edwards) and Ohio State University (with Dr. Mary Beckman). The
post-doc will be based at the University of Wisconsin, but will also be a
liaison between the two sites and can expect to travel to Columbus, OH about 6
times/year. One focus of the position will be to work out a system for reliable
transcription of lingual obstruents across four languages (Cantonese, English,
Greek, and Japanese) which have different category boundaries for these sounds.
The post-doc will also be expected to develop his or her own original research
related to this project. Applicants should have strong experimental phonetic
skills. Knowledge of Praat and R is helpful, but not essential.
For more information on the research project and the role of the postdoctoral
fellow, please contact Dr. Jan Edwards at edwards.212@osu.edu
