Arts at the University of Alberta invites applications for the position of
Department Chair with tenure at the associate or full professor level. The
Department consists of eleven full-time, continuing faculty members and
currently is home to 40 graduate students at the Masters and PhD level. The
Department of Linguistics has a strong commitment to empirical and experimental
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 2<sup>nd</sup>
language acquisition, language documentation and revitalization, computational
historical linguistics, and sociolinguistics. More information about the
Department can be found at <a href="http://www.linguistics.ualberta.ca/" target="_blank">http://www.linguistics.ualberta.ca/</a>.<u></u><u></u></p><p>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-centered approaches to the study of human language and linguistic
development. The Chair will support a culture of grantsmanship and 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.<u></u><u></u></p><p>Candidates with demonstrated administrative experience will be preferred,
and must hold the 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. 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.<u></u><u></u></p><p>The University of Alberta, one of Canada’s largest and most accomplished
research universities, is situated in Edmonton, a metropolitan area of over one
million with a vibrant artistic community and excellent standard of living.
Established in 1908 as a board-governed public institution, the University of
Alberta has earned the reputation of being one of the top five universities in
Canada based on its strengths in teaching, research and service. The University
of Alberta serves over 38,000 students in more than 200 undergraduate and 170
graduate programs (<a href="http://www.ualberta.ca/" target="_blank">http://www.ualberta.ca/</a>).
The Faculty of Arts is the oldest and most diverse faculty on campus, and one
of the largest research and teaching centres in western Canada (<a href="http://www.arts.ualberta.ca/" target="_blank">http://www.arts.ualberta.ca/</a>).<u></u><u></u></p><p>Salary is negotiable and will be commensurate with experience.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>This competition will remain open until a suitable candidate is found. The
selection committee will begin consideration of candidates December 31, 2011.
