The Department of Linguistics at the University of Michigan invites
applications for a tenure-track assistant professor in  
sociolinguistics to
begin September 2006.  Under exceptional circumstances more senior
candidates may be considered.  In keeping with the department's
interdisciplinary perspective, we especially encourage applications from
candidates who are committed to conducting innovative research that  
connects
sociolinguistics to theories of human cognition and/or computational  
models
of language.  The ideal candidate will complement and build on existing
strengths within the department, and will be eager to interact with  
students
and faculty from the broader linguistic community at the University of
Michigan. A Ph.D. by the beginning of the appointment is required.

Applications should be sent to:  Patrice Speeter Beddor, Chair,
