TUCKER ACCEPTS POSITION AT OAKLAND UNIVERSITY

We’re very glad to announce that alumnus Matt Tucker (PhD 2013) has been offered and has accepted a tenure-track position in the Department of Linguistics at Oakland University in Michigan. Since earning the PhD at UCSC, Matt has been a postdoctoral researcher at NYU Abu Dhabi, where he is affiliated with the Language, Mind and Brain Lab and with the Neuroscience of Language Lab. In the two and a half years that Matt has been at NYU, he has been able to renew his engagement with the linguistics of the Semitic languages, has developed research collaborations with Diogo Almeida, Jon Sprouse, and Ali Idrissi, and has developed a new set of interests and skills in the neuroscience of language. He hopes to maintain those collaborations in his new position and is looking forward to new research possibilities in the large linguistics community of the greater Michigan area (at Oakland itself, at MSU, at Wayne State, and at the University of Michigan). We wish him the best of luck in the next stage of his career!
