Candidates must hold a Ph.D. by the time they fill the position. The successful candidate will be expected to have an excellent publication record for their career stage and to apply for competitive research grants. While pursuing their own research agenda, the candidate is expected to be able to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration with colleagues in other sub-disciplines within Linguistics and in other departments. Classes in our department are conducted entirely in English; therefore, the successful candidate must be highly proficient in English.

Applications should include the following:
