The successful candidate will work closely with the University of Calgary's Language Research Centre (http://www.ucalgary.ca/lrc).

    The department offers BA, MA and special-case PhD degrees in French and Spanish. The area of second-language studies has been identified as one of the 16 pillars of excellence in the University of Calgary Academic Plan.
