approaches to linguistic research and its members conduct investigations in 
phonetics, the morphosyntax and semantics of Amerindian languages, child 
bilingual acquisition, child language impairment, corpus linguistics, 
psycholinguistics, phonology, cognitive linguistics, child and adult 2nd language

The Chair will be someone with a strong sense of collaborative leadership 
and a clear commitment to continuing to develop the Department's standing 
within the University, within Canada, and internationally on the cutting 
edge of data-centred approaches to the study of human language and 
linguistic development. The Chair will support a culture of grantsmanship, 
will contribute to the development of graduate and undergraduate programmes 
in the Department and will foster the activities of the in-house research 
facilities—the Centre for Comparative Psycholinguistics, the Language 
Documentation Research Cluster, Alberta Phonetics Lab, and the Language 
Acquisition Lab; an active participation in one or more of these groups 
would be expected.

Candidates must hold a PhD, together with a distinguished record in 
university teaching and research, (including a strong track record of 
appropriate grant activity) in areas of interest to the 
Department. Demonstrated administrative experience will be preferred.  The 
successful candidate should have strong interpersonal communication skills 
and a commitment to excellence in teaching and research, as well as a 
scholarly track record suitable for appointment at a senior rank. Salary is 
negotiable and will be commensurate with experience and rank.
