Tenure Track Position in Semantics and Syntax The University of Texas at Arlington The Department of Linguistics and TESOL at the University of Texas at Arlington invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Associate Professor or advanced Assistant Professor in Formal Syntax or Semantics, to begin in fall 2013. Preference will be given to candidates with the ability to teach and supervise work in both areas. Candidates will have a doctorate in linguistics, with college-level teaching experience and evidence of success and continued promise in publishing in this area. Applicants must have a strong publication record reflecting theoretically-driven interests and a national reputation for high-quality research. The new associate or assistant professor will be expected to be active in research and publication, to meet standard departmental teaching requirements, and to perform service duties as required by the Department and the University (e.g. dissertation supervision, college level committee work, and program advising). The successful candidate will have a research area that complements existing faculty expertise. We anticipate that this faculty member will contribute training students in core areas of formal meaning and structure analysis. In addition, we are interested in candidates who can contribute to teaching in the structure of a non-western language, pragmatics, morphology, sociolinguistics, or quantitative research methods. Potential hires with a successful track record in external grants are of particular interest. Applications from members of underrepresented groups are especially encouraged. We are a growing department, having hired three additional new faculty in the past four years, with plans to hire two tenure-line faculty to start in Fall 2013. We have four graduate programs, including a doctorate in linguistics and an M.A. in TESOL, as well as a new BA in linguistics. 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 33,000 students in the dynamic Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, which has a wide variety of cultural, recreational, and entertainment offerings. A letter of application for this position, describing teaching and research interests, a current curriculum vitae, two writing samples, and three letters of reference from those most familiar with the applicant’s work should be sent in PDF form to the application email address below with “Syntax-Semantics Search” in the subject line. For more information about the department, visit http://ling.uta.edu. Consideration of applications will begin on November 26, 2012, and will continue until the position is filled. Preliminary interviews are planned for the 2013 LSA Annual Meeting in Boston. This is a security sensitive position, and a criminal background check will be conducted on finalists. UT Arlington is an Equal Opportunity & Affirmative Action Employer. |
