A strong background in theoretical linguistics as well as cognitive/computer science is a plus. Responsibilities will include teaching undergraduate courses, advising at the undergraduate and postdoc level, and service, as well as participating in the intellectual life of the Program in Linguistics. PhD required by start date. The Program in Linguistics is especially interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching, and service, will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community. Candidates are welcome to describe in their cover letter how their experiences and approaches promote diversity in the curriculum, broadly defined, including in advancing discovery and understanding; in promoting training and learning; and in broadening the participation of our student population in a disciplinary subject area. Interested candidates must apply online with the following materials: - A cover letter, - An up-to-date curriculum vitae, - Two representative scholarly papers, - A research statement, - A teaching statement, - Teaching evaluations (if available), and - Contact information for three references.
