The Department of Linguistics at the University of Pittsburgh invites
applications for a SINGLE tenure-track assistant professorship in
EITHER Applied Linguistics OR Theoretical Phonology,
beginning August 1993, pending budgetary approval. Applicants
should already have a PhD or expect to have one by August 1993 and
they should be prepared to teach advanced courses in their area of
research, as well as introductory undergraduate classes in general
linguistics. We intend to hire the most qualified candidate, although
preference will be given to an applied linguist, other things being
equal.

The ideal candidate in Applied Linguistics will have a strong research
background in second language acquisition, with some degree of
statistical sophistication, interest in interdisciplinary work with
cognitive science, experience in teaching, learning, and acquiring
languages, and some computer literacy. The candidate would ideally
have a record linking research results in Applied Linguistics to
current research in theoretical syntax or phonology. The candidate
must have considerable familiarity with the basic principles and
formalisms of at least one current model of theoretical syntax or
phonology. Preference will be given to candidates who are able to
teach courses illustrating the interaction between theoretical and
applied linguistics in one of the following areas: computer-assisted
language learning, literacy, discourse analysis, or contrastive
linguistics.

The ideal candidate in Phonology will have a strong research
background in multilinear phonology, research experience in
nonIndo-European phonologies, preferably American Indian,
and some computer literacy, the more the better.

Letters of application (including a statement of research interests)
should be sent to Prof. Richmond Thomason, Search Committee Chair,
Department of Linguistics, 2816 CL, University of Pittsburgh,
Pittsburgh, PA 15260 - thomasonpogo.isp.pitt.edu. Applicants should
also submit a current CV, one or two papers for evaluation by the Search
Committee, and have three letters of reference sent. Candidates should
also supply an email address if possible. We expect to interview
candidates at the January LSA meeting in Los Angeles, although other
interview arrangements can be made under exceptional circumstances.
Applications should arrive by December 01, 1992 and should indicate
whether or not you will be able to attend the LSA meeting.

The University of Pittsburgh is an AA/EO employer. Women and minority
candidates are encouraged to apply.
