Achievement

Students have begun to successfully apply for jobs, and the benefits of their interdisciplinary training have been apparent. Based on her work combining fieldwork, psychological experimentation, and computational modeling, Annie Gagliardi was offered a tenure-track faculty position. She declined the position to take an NSF postdoc award at Harvard that will allow her to further develop her fieldwork and experimentation on understudied languages. Pedro Alcocer secured an industry position in computational research. Pedro’s main background is in linguistics and cognitive neuroscience, but his interdisciplinary computational training made him particularly attractive to employers. Brian Dillon started a tenure-track faculty position at the U of Massachusetts, where he is at the heart of efforts to build interdisciplinary connections of the kind that he helped to create as an IGERT trainee. Akira Omaki started a tenure-track position at Johns Hopkins with similar goals.
