LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS
Lawrence Fellows in the Liberal Arts and Sciences are postdoctoral
positions for recent Ph.D.s (or M.Mus./MFAs) who seek to develop a
record of excellence in teaching and research in a liberal arts college
setting. A detailed description of the program is available at
www.lawrence.edu/dept/fellows. Lawrence Fellows appointments will be
offered on a competitive basis for academic year 2007-08. Initial
appointments are for 2 years, with a reduced teaching load (three
courses in the first year and four in the second year) to provide time
for continued scholarship or artistic achievement. Fellows also
participate in a faculty development program that fosters excellence in
teaching and scholarship. Lawrence encourages Fellows to engage in
tutorials and research projects with undergraduates, as well as teaching
and research collaborations with faculty. These full-time fellowships
carry a stipend of $35,000 per year, plus benefits, and a $2500 annual
fund to support research, travel, and other initiatives.
For 2006-07, the Program in Linguistics seeks Fellows applicants in
general linguistics. Applicants who might additionally contribute to
one or more of Lawrence?s Interdisciplinary Areas (Cognitive Science,
Ethnic Studies, Gender Studies) ought to indicate this interest. We are
particularly interested in applicants whose interests complement those
of faculty teaching in the linguistics program, and who could offer
courses in areas currently not covered. See the course descriptions at
http://www.lawrence.edu/academics/ling/cdescriptions.shtml for a
current list of courses offered. Applicants must have received the PhD
(or terminal degree) by August of 2007 and no earlier than within the
past five years. Applicants should clearly indicate in their cover
letters that they are applying to the Program in Linguistics. For
questions about the Linguistics Program at Lawrence, feel free to e.mail
Prof. Ruth Lanouette (ruth.m.lanouette@lawrence.edu).
