Calling all linguistics students! Are you passionate about phonetics and under-studied languages? At Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages, we are welcoming two cohorts of phonetics interns in July-August 2023. Apply by June 16th, 2023.

• Our summer internships are part-time, remote positions where interns can set their own schedules. This is an unpaid position. Each internship lasts for four weeks. Each internship cohort requires a time commitment of 15-20 hours per week.
• The two available cohorts of phonetics interns are:
  July 5th to August 2nd, 2023
  August 1st to 29th, 2023.
• Previous experience working with Praat experience is required for this internship.
• The language we are working on is Mundari, a Munda language from India. We will provide you with all the necessary files and transcription data to work on it. This is part of a larger research project entitled “Words, phrases, and sentences at the interface of phonology and morphosyntax.”
• Interns may be located anywhere in the world, and must attend one Zoom meeting per week for one hour (schedule forthcoming). They must have access to a laptop with the Praat software on it, and access to the Internet for the Zoom meetings and uploading files. Praat is a free software. Working on Praat files can be done offline.
• Living Tongues phonetician Dr. Luke Horo will be supervising this internship, along with our colleagues on the phonetics team in India. Living Tongues Program Director Anna Luisa Daigneault will coordinate the meetings and provide guidance along the way. Dr. Gregory D. S. Anderson will also assist on the research side. We will have a Slack channel available where we can respond to questions anytime.
