Chair, Department of Linguistics
University of Alberta
Edmonton, Canada

Applications and nominations are invited for the position of Chair of
the Department of Linguistics at the University of Alberta. This
tenured appointment will be made at the rank of senior Associate or full
Professor, effective 1 July 2000. The floor of the salary scale for the
rank of Professor for the 1999/2000 academic year is $65,044. 
Candidates should have a distinguished record of scholarship and
professional achievement in both experimental and theoretical
linguistics, and a research specialization compatible with one of the
continuing research strengths of the department. 

The Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta is engaged in an
extensive process of renewal, and is committed to ensuring that the
substantial number of hirings projected over the next several years will
ensure for the future the lively and productive intellectual environment
on which the Faculty prides itself.

The Department of Linguistics has a strong commitment to empirical and
experimental approaches to linguistic research. Department members are
engaged in ongoing research projects, many grant-funded, in experimental
phonetics, language acquisition, discourse processing, and the study of
the phonological, morphological, and semantic aspects of the mental
lexicon. A Chair is sought who has a philosophical commitment to
experimental research in the service of theory, and who will act as a
bridge builder with allied fields in the cognitive science domain. 

The Department offers both graduate (PhD and MSc) and undergraduate
degrees, and values its reputation for excellence in teaching and
graduate training. It provides an environment of leading-edge research
and innovative teaching/learning at both the undergraduate and graduate
levels. 

The University of Alberta is committed to the principle of equity in
employment. As an employer we welcome diversity in the workplace and
encourage applications from all qualified women and men, including
Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities and members of visible
minorities.
