 Linguistics Tenure Track Position 

The Linguistics Department at the University of Manitoba invites

Assistant Professor beginning July 1, 2000, subject to budgetary
approval. Salary will be commensurate with experience and
qualifications. The 2000-2001 salary range for this position is
$42,524 - $50,000. A large proportion of our undergraduate majors are

pathology. We are looking for an individual to teach courses relevant
to the needs of this population, as well as to complement the existing
teaching and research strengths of the Department.

Teaching duties will include courses in the anatomy and physiology of
speech, neurolinguistics, communication disorders, and one or more
core areas of linguistics. The ability to teach courses in language
acquisition and/or instrumental phonetics will be an asset.

The successful candidate will have an active research program in an
area of linguistics related to the teaching duties, such as
psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, phonetics or clinical
linguistics, and will be expected to supervise MA and PhD students in
their area of specialization.

A doctoral degree in linguistics or a closely related discipline must
be completed by the time of appointment.

The University of Manitoba encourages applications from qualified
women and men, including members of visible minorities, Aboriginal
peoples, and persons with disabilities. In accordance with Canada
