It is likely that we will have a vacancy for someone to teach mainly 
syntax during the second semester of this year (Feb-May 1998) at 
University of Ulster. We need someone who can teach an introductory 
course in Minimalist syntax, a final-year undergraduate option in an 
area of their specialisation, and contribute to another course eg 
semantics or psycholinguistics. The commitment would be around 9 hours' 
teaching per week which would be paid on an hourly rate of around 
#30/hour. Anyone interested should contact me.

Appliations are invited for the post of Professor of Linguistics. The 
successful candidate would be required to assume duty on 1 July 1998, or 
earlier if feasible.

DUTIES: 	Undergraduate teaching, graduate supervision and appropriate 
administration. Particular challenges will involve expanded student numbers 
at all levels, the development of interdisciplinary courses and preserving 
a strong commitment to research excellence.

In the recently restructured Faculty of Arts, Linguistics remains an 
independent discipline with its own core courses, major, honours degree and 
service teaching in a School of Philosophy and Linguistics. The appointee 
will assume duty virtually at the inception of this new arrangement and 
will therefore assist in its evolution.

QUALIFICATIONS: 	PhD in Linguistics, appropriate seniority and broad 
experience in one or more core areas of the discipline. The appointee will 
have opportunities to develop courses and research projects with a local 
focus, therefore an interest in African linguistic issues--while not 
essential--will be an advantage.

SALARY: 	negotiable in the range R117 636 - R138 540 per annum

BENEFITS: 	annual bonus, generous leave, provident fund; medical aid, car 
scheme, housing subsidy (if eligible); relocation allowance, 100% financial 
assistance towards dependants' University studies (if applicable).

ENQUIRIES: 	Dean Gerrit Viljoen, Faculty of Arts

CLOSING DATE: 	15 February 1998

[Three of the current lecturers in the Department of Linguistics will be 
present at LSA in January 1998, and can provide more information about the 
department on request].
