Candidates must hold an earned doctorate in linguistics, with evidence of success and continued promise in publishing. Potential hires with a successful track record in external grants are of particular interest. ABD candidates will be considered. The ideal candidate is engaged in ongoing community-driven fieldwork with a non-Indo-European language. In addition, the ideal candidate will also have a specialization in one of the core theoretical areas of our department: syntax, semantics, pragmatics or phonology. Applicants should consider how their training and theoretical approaches are consistent with existing faculty in their core area, since they will share responsibility for grad courses and dissertation direction in the department. We are a growing department, with new hires, two new research labs, and a new B.A. in linguistics. We offer a PhD in linguistics and MA degrees in both linguistics and TESOL. The University of Texas at Arlington is aggressively pursuing Tier One status, seeking to increase doctoral production, undergraduate graduation and retention rates, and extramural funding. The University is highly diverse in its student demographics, and is a doctoral-granting, research-intensive public institution of over 30,000 students in the dynamic Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, which has a wide variety of cultural, recreational, and entertainment offerings. Applications from members of underrepresented groups are especially encouraged. A letter of application for the position in Language Documentation describing teaching and research interests including a description of fieldwork experience and training, a current curriculum vitae, two writing samples, and three current letters of reference from those most familiar with the applicant's work, including at least one member of the candidates's dissertation committee, should be sent by U.S. mail to the address below.
