Pending budgetary approval, the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, has been authorized to make a tenure-track appointment at the rank of assistant professor. Salary will be commensurate with experience; the PhD is required by July 1, 2008, the starting date of the appointment. Duties will include undergraduate and graduate teaching (four courses per year) and advising, supervision of student research, and development of a successful and original research program.
We invite applications from linguists specializing in the social or demographic contexts of language. Applicants could include specialists in language variation, sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics, dialectology, language contact, language use and pragmatics, creole linguistics, or mixed languages (among other areas). Applicants should have a broad intellectual engagement with the field of linguistics, a theoretically informed and empirically grounded research specialization, and demonstrated excellence in teaching. We are especially interested in applicants whose research involves quantitative analysis, corpus work, documentary linguistics, or other new methodologies.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, representative work, and evidence of excellence in teaching; three letters of recommendation should also be sent. (Please direct referees to the University's statement on confidentiality.) Preliminary interviews may be conducted, by invitation, at the Linguistic Society of America annual meeting in Chicago, IL, in January 2007.
Applications and all supporting materials, including letters of recommendation, should be submitted on-line (in pdf format) to the application website listed below and must be received by November 15, 2007; late applications will not be considered.
