Assistant Project Scientist - Department of Linguistics
Position Overview: A reasonable estimate for this position is $74,100 - $94,200 (Non-exempt $35.49 - $45.89)
This position is part time (0.50 FTE).
The Project Scientist will be responsible for the overall operational and research project management for Dr. Georgia Zellou's projects in the Phonetics Laboratory in the Department of Linguistics. Under the direction of Dr. Georgia Zellou, the Project Scientist will design, run, and analyze experiments, and co-author manuscripts and grants. Given the wide range of research interests pursued in the Phonetics Lab (e.g., speech production, speech perception, automatic speech recognition, sound change), the appointee should have expertise in phonetics, psycholinguistics, human-computer interaction, and automatic speech recognition (ASR), which can be applied across various research projects. The Project Scientist will be expected to participate in the academic life of the department (e.g. attending colloquia, participating in research workshops, etc.).
Project Scientists are expected to make significant and creative contributions to a research or creative project in his/her academic discipline. The appointee will participate in activities to increase, improve, or upgrade competency in the field of linguistics. Appointees with Project Scientist series may engage in University and public service. They do not have teaching responsibilities. Although the Project Scientist is expected to work independently under the general guidance of an academic member with an independent research program (i.e., Professor, Professional Researcher, etc.), they are not required to develop an independent research program or reputation. The Project Scientist will carry out research or creative programs with supervision by an individual in an academic title that carries with it automatic Principal status. The Project Scientist does not usually serve as a Principal Investigator but may do so by exception.
