There is a new position at the National Science Foundation to direct the Documenting Endangered Languages program. The applicant has to be a US citizen with a Ph.D. in a relevant field and with at least 6 years of experience post-Ph.D. It is a temporary ("rotating") position of 1 or 2 years. It is a great way to contribute to the field and to get to know the funding scene more intimately. I greatly enjoyed my two years there.
