Description:
Pending budgetary approval, the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley has been authorized to make up to two full-time tenure-track appointments, at the assistant professor level, in the area of language and cognition. One of these will be a joint appointment with the undergraduate program in Cognitive Science. Salary will be commensurate with experience; the Ph.D. (in Linguistics or an allied field) is required by July 1, 2007, the starting date of the appointment. Duties will include undergraduate and graduate teaching (four courses per year) and advising, supervision of student research, and development of a successful and original research program.
Successful candidates will have a broad intellectual engagement with the fields of Linguistics and Cognitive Science. Scholars with interests in the sociocultural aspects of cognition and language, including (but not limited to) pragmatics, language use, or language learning, are especially encouraged to apply.
The tenure home and graduate teaching for both positions will be in the Department of Linguistics. One position will entail two undergraduate courses per year in Cognitive Science, including courses cross-listed in Linguistics.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, copies of representative work, and evidence of excellence in teaching. Applicants should arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent. (Please direct referees to http://apo.chance.berkeley.edu/evalltr.html for the University's statement on confidentiality.) Preliminary interviews may be conducted, by invitation, at the Linguistic Society of America meeting in Anaheim, CA, in January, 2007.
