Description:
The Department of Linguistics at the University of Victoria invites applications for a tenure-stream Assistant Professor position in syntax, effective 1 July 2007. By the time of appointment applicants are expected to have a PhD in Linguistics with a specialization in syntax, preferably with a focus on a language of East Asia, as well as an excellent record of scholarly achievement and a commitment to excellence in undergraduate and graduate teaching.
The responsibilities of this position include MA and PhD student supervision and the teaching of syntax in our undergraduate and graduate programs. As our department values both depth and breadth of scholarly expertise, additional specializations are welcome: semantics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, computational linguistics, or other. To support diversity in our academic programs, we would encourage the person we hire to develop a course on the structure of their research language. We seek an individual with the ability to contribute strongly to the research profile of the Department and its administrative functions. Collaborative, interdisciplinary research, teaching, and program development are also encouraged.
Applicants should send, in hard copy, a letter of application, curriculum vitae, 1-3 publication samples, copies of teaching evaluations, and the names and e-mail addresses of three referees to:
Dr Leslie Saxon Chair, Department of Linguistics University of Victoria P.O. Box 3045, Stn CSC Victoria, BC, V8W 3P4 Canada

The Department of Linguistics has close ties to the University of Victoria's Centre for Asia-Pacific Initiatives (CAPI), the Department of Pacific and Asian Studies, the Faculty of Education, and in the Division of Continuing Studies, the English Language Centre and Certificate Program in Aboriginal Language Revitalization.
The University of Victoria is an equity employer and encourages applications from women, persons with disabilities, visible minorities, Aboriginal Peoples, people of all sexual orientations and genders, and others who may contribute to the further diversification of the University.
