The University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) Department of Psychology and
Program in Linguistics invite applications for an anticipated
full-time, tenure-track position in the area of adult
psycholinguistics beginning September 1, 2000. We seek candidates
with excellent research and teaching credentials in the empirical
investigation of adult psychological processes underlying language
representation and use. Applications from individuals with interests
in syntax-semantics and in the processing of spoken or written
language at the sentential level are especially welcome, as are
applications from individuals with strong backgrounds in computational
modeling and knowledge of brain organization as it pertains to
language. However, candidates with interests in any aspects of adult
psycholinguists will be considered. The successful candidate will
hold 50% appointments in the Department of Psychology and in the
Program in Linguistics, with teaching responsibilities in both units.
We anticipate that the candidate will develop a program of research
that involves students in both units and that has ties to the
interests of colleagues in both units as well.

Please send curriculum vitae, 3-5 letters of reference, copies of
reprints and preprints, and statements of research and teaching
interests no later than December 1 to Chair, Psychology/Linguistics
Search Committee, Department of Psychology, 525 East University, Ann
Arbor, MI 48109-1109. The University of Michigan is an affirmative
action, equal opportunity employer.
