The Linguistics Department at the University of Oregon announces the
opening of a non-tenure related Visiting Assistant Professor position

able to help cover our core curriculum, which includes phonetics,
phonology, functional-typological morphosyntax, semantics, discourse,
historical linguistics, and second language acquisition and teaching.

In addition, the successful applicant must have an active research
profile and must be able to direct graduate student research.

Qualifications:  Ph.D. in Linguistics
