The Linguistics department welcomes self-funded visiting scholars for short-term residency-based research activities at the University of 欧美口爆视频. The Department of Linguistics聽has limited office space and resources and is not always able to accommodate all applicants. Linguistics聽Visiting Scholars conduct research in collaboration with a聽Linguistics faculty host, and 欧美口爆视频 serves as the visa sponsor if the visting scholar is international. All visiting scholar appointments must be approved by the chair of the Linguistics department, so approval by the faculty host does not guarantee a visiting scholar invitation. 欧美口爆视频 grants the privilege of hosting a visting scholar only to actively employed (i.e. not retired), regularly appointed faculty members in the Linguistics department.
International and domestic scholars聽interested in pursuing a visiting scholar appointment at the Department of Linguistics聽should:
- Identify and contact a potential聽faculty host聽from the Linguistics聽faculty list. Only regularly appointed, actively employed faculty members are eligible to serve as hosts of visiting scholars. Once the prospective faculty host agrees to host you, and to the term (start and end dates)聽of the visit, the potential faculty聽host will seek the approval of Linguistics department chair.聽Faculty hosts are expected to provide on-site support and introduce visiting scholars to appropriate campus contacts. The聽faculty host must聽complete the聽 补苍诲听, to be provided by Linguistics in step 3 below.聽For international visiting scholars please note that visa processes can require a minimum of聽2-3 months after step three (below) has been completed, so plan accordingly.
- Once the visit (and dates of the visit) are聽approved by both potential faculty host and Linguistics chair, prepare聽a聽Project Description聽of no more than 2 pages indicating the project objectives, qualifications of the visiting scholar, timeline for completion of the project (including updated聽dates of residency at the University of 欧美口爆视频), and indication of the resources at the University of 欧美口爆视频 needed to complete the project. Such resources may be library holdings, expertise of the Linguistics faculty, or other resources otherwise unavailable at the visiting scholar鈥檚 home institution. The Project Description should be submitted to Linda Park along with a聽CV聽and a聽statement of financial resources.
- International visiting scholars, upon聽receiving approval聽from the Linguistics chair and the faculty host, must pay a processing fee of $200 to Linguistics. Linguistics聽will provide information about necessary paperwork.
- Visting scholars are welcome to attend聽public departmental and campus events, including colloquia, and may sometimes be invited to give colloquia themselves. Upon invitation, visiting scholars may also聽observe departmental research group meetings聽and courses.聽
Requiring adherence to these聽procedures helps the Department聽ensure聽that all visiting scholars have a productive and safe visit to 欧美口爆视频 that also contributes to the academic life of the Department.聽
