Rice University

Open Rank Position in Linguistics

The Department of Linguistics, Rice University, is seeking to fill a
tenured or
tenure-track position in linguistics at the level of assistant, associate or
full professor beginning fall, 2001. The Ph.D. is required.
The Department of Linguistics at Rice has a strongly functionalist, usage-
based orientation. The Department adopts an integrative approach that is
sensitive to language and its many contexts: discourse, social, cognitive,
historical, etc. We emphasize language description and typology, generalizing
from personal fieldwork experience. Fieldwork on a non-Indo-European language
and an interest in language description and its implications are essential.
Rice University is a private, selective institution with undergraduate and
graduate strengths in science, engineering, the social sciences and the
humanities. Rice places strong emphasis on research and excellence in
classroom
teaching.
We expect the successful candidate to share the orientation of the Department
and to have an outstanding record in those areas. In addition, the candidate
should have demonstrated excellence in teaching undergraduate and graduate
courses. The normal course load is six hours per semester.
Interviews will be held in January, 2001 at the LSA meeting in Washington,
D.C.
For full consideration, applications including cover letter, CV, three
names of
references, and one representative article must be received by November 15,
2000. Reply to: Faculty Search, Department of Linguistics MS23, Rice
University, 6100 Main St., Houston, TX 77005. E-mail: ling at ruf.rice. edu.
