About the role

Cornell University in Ithaca, NY invites applications for a two-year Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Linguistics beginning August 1, 2027. The fellowship carries a stipend of $68,000 per year and includes teaching responsibilities of two courses per academic year. We welcome applicants with broad linguistic interests spanning subfields and encourage interactions across humanities and sciences, with opportunities to contribute to seminars and interdisciplinary programs.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
