 Position Announcement

 The Department of Linguistics at the University of

track position beginning in the fall semester of 1995.
Appointment is anticipated preferably at the
Assistant/Associate Professor level, but outstanding
candidates at a higher level will be considered. Salary is

of the current faculty are especially sought. Applicants

specialization at the graduate level, as well as more
general linguistics courses at the undergraduate level. An

weigh in our decision.
