2. , ESL: University of British Columbia

As the jobs announcement sent out by our department recently had a
somewhat misleading subject header, perhaps creating the impression
that only one position (namely that of director of the Basic Language
Program) was available, I thought that I would send out the following
clarification.
The Linguistics Department at UC San Diego is looking to fill *three*
positions this year:
 1) director of the Basic Language Program;
 2) a theoretical linguist with a specialization in syntax
 and/or formal semantics; and
 3) a specialist in functional and/or cognitive linguistics.
The announcement for the latter two positions (which followed the
announcement for the first position in the previous message) is
appended in its entirety.
