Description:

The Department of Linguistics at Yale University expects to make an appointment at either the tenured or the non-tenured level in the field of Historical Linguistics, effective as of the academic year 2007-2008. Candidates at the junior level should be assured of completing the requirements for the Ph.D. by the summer of 2007 at the latest. Particular consideration will be given to candidates with broad scholarly interests, including the relations between historical and synchronic linguistics, who have made contributions to the comparative study of some group of historically related languages, and who have a demonstrated commitment to graduate and undergraduate education.

Applicants should send a current CV, two or three representative pieces of research and the names of potential references by 15 December, 2006 to: Chair, historical search committee; Department of Linguistics, PO Box 208366, New Haven, CT 06520-8366. Please do NOT have letters of recommendation sent to us before we explicitly request them: such unsolicited letters will be disregarded in the appointment process. We hope to interview potential candidates at the annual meeting of the Linguistic Society of America in Anaheim, CA in January 2007, and additional applications may be submitted at that time. Yale University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer, and we especially encourage applications from women and members of under-represented minorities.
