If youโve applied for postdoctoral fellowships and are willing to send along a copy of yours, Iโd happily accept that too

Q: Does anyone have recommendations for good samples of research project descriptions/plans for postdoctoral fellowship applications (linguistics ones). Bonus points if they are roughly one-page examples (or 700-1000 word) and aimed at a committee with non-linguists
English
@saaaahiiiil Perhaps it needs reshaping, or is missing pieces (that feedback can help you identify). But, crucially, itโs often not crumbling. Keep at it, Sahil.
English
@saaaahiiiil I encourage you to go through with the โgoing aboutโ even after youโve told yourself itโs crumbling. Write it all out and then share it with others, receive feedback, & make edits. Then share edits with more folks, receive feedback, & make edits. Likely, you DO have a something.
English
Why do I feel that I donโt have new ideas anymore? Itโs like Iโm stuck. I know what I want. I think I know how Iโd go about it? But when I actually sit down and โgo aboutโ it everything crumbles. Grad school and stuff I guess!

@k_ditya Sad you all couldnโt meet! But happy his talk went well. Hoping to present at FASAL again once I get this dissertation out of the way. ๐คฉ

@k_ditya If you get the chance, say hi to my student, Rishab! Heโs presenting a poster on Assamese nominals.

@saaaahiiiil QP 1 on the semantics of tense-aspect. QP 2 on prosody stuff. Nothing wrong with exploring different subfields imo.
English
Everyday I think of shifting my interests to the prosody-syntax-pragmatics interface but then I see different tense-aspect constructions and I fall in love once again with these temporal nuances that the language has to offer, sinking in my chair, thinking of semantics again ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

Highlight of #LSA2025 was @MattieWex citing Missy Elliot. โฅ๏ธ
English
@MattieWex Ahaha it does (kind of). Iโm supposed to present, but Iโm basically โon callโ for a trip back to Illinois. I will keep you posted though!! I hope I get to see you.

Are any of my cool (gay) grad student mutuals gonna be at LSA this year? I want buddies to pal around with.

I just found out that 10 students are registered for my advisorโs field methods class in the spring, and Iโm so excited. She also told me that multiple students who registered highlighted that I strongly encouraged them to do so ๐ค
English
I get so much joy/excitement from watching my undergraduate research advisees present at a conference for the first time! My student, Rishab Borah, gave a great talk on the NP/DP parameter as it relates to Assamese at this yearโs WECOL. ๐คฉ

Last P-side presentation for a bit. All syn-sem until the dissertation is complete.

Proud friend post: Way to go @AnderBeristain!
Linguistic Society of America@LingSocAm
The Halle Award and Fromkin Prize Committee unanimously decided to recognize @AnderBeristain as the new recipient of the Morris Halle Memorial Award for Faculty Excellence in Phonology Award in 2025. Anderโs work addresses second and heritage language phonology and has found that bilingual speakers possess two physiological segment-timing systems. Attend the 2025 LSA Annual Meeting to meet Ander and celebrate his achievement. #LSAAWARDS #Linguistics web.cvent.com/event/40d9411eโฆ

Probably important to note that this abstract was NOT accepted for presentation and the reviewer I mention did not give it a high score (no bias here ๐).
English
I, by no means, expect volunteer reviewers to be quite as thorough/helpful as this person/people. I do, however, appreciate it a lot. It always gets me excited to work more on the project.
English
I recently reread some conference-abstract reviews I received. And there is a certain reviewer or subset of reviewers who I think Iโve had on multiple occasions who give the most HELPFUL feedback.
