If you’ve applied for postdoctoral fellowships and are willing to send along a copy of yours, I’d 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, it’s often not crumbling. Keep at it, Sahil.
English
@saaaahiiiil I encourage you to go through with the “going about” even after you’ve told yourself it’s 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 don’t have new ideas anymore? It’s like I’m stuck. I know what I want. I think I know how I’d go about it? But when I actually sit down and ‘go about’ it everything crumbles. Grad school and stuff I guess!

@k_ditya Sad you all couldn’t meet! But happy his talk went well. Hoping to present at FASAL again once I get this dissertation out of the way. 🤩
English
@k_ditya If you get the chance, say hi to my student, Rishab! He’s 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 🤷🏻♂️

Highlight of #LSA2025 was @MattieWex citing Missy Elliot. ♥️
English
@MattieWex Ahaha it does (kind of). I’m supposed to present, but I’m basically “on call” for a trip back to Illinois. I will keep you posted though!! I hope I get to see you.
English
Are any of my cool (gay) grad student mutuals gonna be at LSA this year? I want buddies to pal around with.
English
I just found out that 10 students are registered for my advisor’s field methods class in the spring, and I’m so excited. She also told me that multiple students who registered highlighted that I strongly encouraged them to do so 🤗
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 year’s WECOL. 🤩
English
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. Ander’s 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/40d9411e…

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 😉).
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 I’ve had on multiple occasions who give the most HELPFUL feedback.
