#job#jobalert#Postdoc researcher in Machine Learning, working to develop a method for identifying endangered heritage sites in forested mountains of South America as part of the Mapping the Archaeological Pre-Columbian Heritage of South America (MAPHSA) project.
Question: would it be fine to email a research project leader, express my interest in applying for a postdoc they offer, and ask if they have advice regarding application materials, like the cover letter? 😅
🚨 Postdoc - histoire🚨
Le Groupe d’histoire de Montréal lance son concours de stage postdoctoral.
La bourse (40 000$ CDN) de 9 mois (idéalement du 1er sept. 2024 au 31 mai 2025) sera attribuée à une personne détenant un doctorat en histoire ou dans une discipline connexe.
Date limite: le 15 avril 2024 à 17h (EDT).
En tant que membre de longue date du Groupe, je serais heureux de répondre aux questions. @histodons
At the University of Milan we are seeking a research fellow to participate in the “MetaLing Corpus: Creating a corpus of English linguistics metalanguage from the 16th to the 18th century” project: https://expertise.unimi.it/resource/project/PRIN202223AANDR%5F01
Through archival research and corpus compilation, the project aims to assess the genres and text-types involved in the circulation of linguistic knowledge, and to throw light onto unconventional texts and voices besides the major works and figures on which scholarship has naturally concentrated. The project is divided into three phases 1) collection of texts, 2) building the corpus, 3) lexical extraction and database creation, combining human and computational tools. The core part of our study will involve the analysis of the terminology, discursive strategies and descriptive metaphors used to describe and compare languages in English, in diachronic perspective.
The successful applicant will work with the project team to identify relevant primary materials and build an electronic corpus of texts. The post is for someone with a postgraduate degree in Linguistics, English, Computer Science or related discipline. Candidates may or may not have a doctorate at the time of application. The researcher will have the opportunity to contribute to the project database, work in archives, and develop academic writing in individual and joint papers.
Post: Postdoctoral research fellow, Early stage researcher or 0-4 yrs (Post graduate)
Location: Milan (on-site)
Duration: 18 months, fixed-term/contract
Salary: EUR 21,888 per annum
Closes: 4th January 2024
Interview date: 16th January 2024
We'd appreciate if you boost or forward to any potentially interested candidates. In case of questions or difficulties with understanding Italian (language or bureaucracy), do get in touch with me or the provided contacts. Further details in the attached file.
Postdoctoral fellows are "expected to sacrifice evenings and weekends, and to neglect [their] social life and holidays, all for a career that offers no guarantees. The short-term nature of postdoc contracts prevents [...] settling down and starting a family,"
A Nature survey found that postdocs in their 30s are "more negative about job prospects, job security and work–life balance," and have more mental health challenges.
Having been on both ends, the reality is ~300 people apply for one post and 3 to 5 are shortlisted. Many times, there's an internal candidate if not already working there, then someone with a #PhD or #Postdoc or close professional ties with the department.
One should still apply and hope. But, the disingenuousness should stop.
If you know of any #philosophy#postdoc opportunities, please let me know. Being unemployed is really... horrible. It's not even about the money, it's just so boring not to have a community, structure, a place to go to and work, and to feel as if you're a part of something 😔
