PSYCHOLINGUISTICS or COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS

The Department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science at the University 
of Delaware has a position available for a tenure-track Assistant 
Professor with a specialization in the field of psycholinguistics or 
computational linguistics. The successful candidate should have a 
research program demonstrating achievements in one or both of these 
areas.

The position requires instruction at the undergraduate and graduate

computational linguistics (such as computational modeling, natural 
language processing), as well as courses related to the research 
specialization of the candidate.  

The UD Department of Linguistics is expanding to become the Department 
of Linguistics and Cognitive Science.  New Department members will have

acquisition, linguistic vs. non-linguistic representation, philosophy 
of biology, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language.  The 
cognitive science program more broadly includes over 30 faculty members 
in the departments of anthropology, computer and information science, 
linguistics, psychology, and philosophy, with strengths in most of the
