1. Andrew Garrett, Syntax: Position at University of Califonia, Berkeley, USA
2. gmk20, General Ling: Lecturer or Asst at University of Cambridge, UK

Pending budgetary authorization, the Department of Linguistics at
the University of California, Berkeley, hopes to make a temporary
syntax appointment for the 2000-2001 academic year (with a
possibility of renewal for an additional year). Candidates should
have demonstrated excellence in teaching, a broad intellectual
engagement with the field of linguistics, and a theoretically
informed research specialization in some area of syntax. The
ideal candidate's interests and experience will intersect with
existing research at Berkeley, especially in semantics, morphology,
or a language area such as American Indian, Sino-Tibetan, or
Celtic languages.

Title and salary for this full-time appointment will be
commensurate with experience. Duties will include teaching
3-4 courses (including an undergraduate course and a research
seminar) as well as graduate advising in syntax. The Ph.D. is
required by July 1, 2000.

Please send letters of inquiry with curricula vitae, evidence of
teaching excellence, and representative recent work to:

 Andrew Garrett (garrettsocrates.berkeley.edu)
 Chair, Syntax Committee
 Department of Linguistics
 1203 Dwinelle Hall #2650
 University of California
 Berkeley, CA 94720-2650

Those who received the Ph.D. more than three years ago should
include the names and addresses of three potential referees;
others should arrange for three letters of recommendation to be
sent to the above address. All material should be received by
February 15 for fullest consideration.
