The posting

The Linguistics and Multilingual Studies programme at the NTU School of Humanities explores language in all its dimensions: structural, social, cognitive, and technological. We have a strong focus on multilingualism, especially in linguistic ecologies of Asia and Southeast Asia, and produce globally significant research on linguistic diversity, human communication, and the evolving relationship between language and technology.

We are looking for a full-time Research Assistant to support the grant-funded project Bridging history and structure: Formal approaches to family-internal contact morphosyntax across Austronesian, a detailed investigation of the Malayo-Polynesian languages of Maritime Southeast Asia. This project focuses on understudied and underdescribed Austronesian languages in Singapore, Indonesia, East Timor and beyond, and the interactions between speaker communities thereof (including but not limited to Singapore Colloquial Malay, Baweanese, Helong, Meto, Amarasi, Hawu, and Kupang Malay). This role will play a key role in collecting and analysing qualitative data, interfacing with collaborators and community members, and managing and preparing project outputs for archiving and dissemination.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Coordinate interview scheduling and administer consent procedures in compliance with ethics requirements.
  • Transcribe, annotate, and otherwise process audio-recorded interviews using language documentation software for analysis and archiving.
  • Organise, maintain and manage project data (including recordings, metadata, transcriptions, and fieldnotes) in a manner which is both secure and in line with established archival standards.
  • Support literature review tasks including establishing baseline grammatical descriptions for various Malayo-Polynesian languages from published sources.
  • Supervise junior student assistants.
  • Support the preparation of project reports or documentation, materials for the dissemination of project findings, and other community-facing project outputs.

Job Requirements:

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Linguistics or related field.
  • Proficiency in English and Malay or Indonesian (both written and spoken, in colloquial as well as standardized registers), including oral communication skills so as to support the research project which focuses on understudied and underdescribed Austronesian languages in Singapore, Indonesia, East Timor and beyond, and the interactions between speaker communities thereof (including but not limited to Singapore Colloquial Malay, Baweanese, Helong, Meto, Amarasi, Hawu, and Kupang Malay).
  • Prior experience in linguistic annotation, transcription, analysis, or related language research and software (e.g. FLEx, ELAN) is an advantage.
  • Familiarity with qualitative data collection (including interviews) and basic data management practices is preferred.
  • Strong understanding of research ethics and/or prior experience with community-oriented research work are desirable.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively, with meticulous attention to detail and excellent organisational skills
  • Entry level candidates are welcome to apply.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
