<p><span class="Position-Summary">The University of Oregon’s Department of Linguistics invites applications for a tenure-track position of Assistant Professor in Linguistics, to begin in fall 2018. We seek candidates specializing in fieldwork & language description,
whose training and research orientation are compatible with our commitment to functional/usage-based approaches to linguistic explanation. Competitive applicants will be capable of outstanding research and teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
A successful candidate will have an established program of field research, thorough knowledge of relevant technology and software, and have additional expertise in one or more related areas such as language revitalization, corpus creation and management, digital
archiving, quantitative methods, and experimental methods in the field. The best applications will also highlight the theoretical richness and/or typological relevance of their research program in one or more areas of linguistics. <br>
<br>
We are especially interested in scholars who will enhance the department’s existing strengths in historical linguistics, usage-based approaches to syntax, laboratory phonology, and/or complement our current expertise with other strengths such as quantitative/statistical
methods or experimental approaches in fieldwork. We are a diverse and growing department with strengths in linguistic typology, functionalist approaches to syntax, language description and revitalization, historical linguistics, experimental linguistics, laboratory
phonology, language acquisition and teaching, and variationist sociolinguistics. We particularly welcome applications from scholars who are from populations historically underrepresented in the academy, and/or who have experience working with students from
diverse backgrounds.</span></p>
<p><strong>Department or Program Summary</strong><br>

reconstruction of the history and development of languages of the world. Most Ph.D. dissertation research at Oregon is in either language documentation (usually describing undocumented languages) or experimental research (including laboratory phonology, discourse
studies, gesture, and semantics). <br>
