The application deadline for the Romance Linguistics position at Oxford has

The University proposes to appoint a University Lecturer in Linguistics 
(Romance Languages) from 1st October 2006 or as soon as possible thereafter. 
The closing date for applications is Friday 19th May. The post will be under 
the Committee for Comparative Philology, Linguistics and Phonetics, the body 
that oversees those subjects. This new post is one of several openings 
designed to strengthen the academic provision for teaching and research in 
linguistics and in phonetics at Oxford. The post is associated with a 
nonstipendiary fellowship at Balliol College. 

The lecturer will be required to deliver a range of lectures and classes 
within the field of linguistics (especially in relation to the Romance 
languages) and to conduct original research. No specific research specialism 
is stipulated, but all other things being equal, preference may be given to a 
candidate working in the field of Romance linguistics with interests in 
syntactic theory.
