The Newberry Library, an independent research library in Chicago, Illinois, invites applications for its 2009-2010 Fellowships in the Humanities. Newberry Library fellowships support research in residence at the Library, and all proposed research must be appropriate to the collections (excluding the Terra Foundation Fellowship and certain short-term awards). Our fellowship program rests on the belief that all projects funded by the Newberry benefit from engagement both with the materials in the Newberry’s collections and with the lively community of researchers that gathers around those collections. Long-term residential fellowships are available for periods of six to eleven months to postdoctoral scholars who must hold the Ph.D. at the time of application.

Researcher/Postdoc Experimental Linguistics/Computational Linguistics/Phonetics Applications are invited for a two-year researcher/postdoc at the Department of Scandinavian Studies/ Information Science, Faculty of Arts, Center for Language and Cognition Groningen. The successful applicant will join the projects ‘Linguistic determinants of mutual intelligibility in Scandinavia’ and/or ‘Mutual intelligibility of language varieties in the Low Countries: linguistic and attitudinal determinants’ which are both funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). The aim of the projects is to refine newly developed computational methods in order to quantify communicatively relevant similarity between closely related languages and language varieties. The similarity measurements will be used to develop a model for predicting and explaining mutual intelligibility. The candidate will cooperate closely with a PhD-student and a senior researcher.
