Description:

University of Alberta
Department of Linguistics
Lecturer

The Department of Linguistics in the Faculty of Arts at the University of 
Alberta invites applications for a Lecturership. This position is intended 
for an exceptionally strong teacher of linguistics with responsibilities 
for lower level and senior level undergraduate linguistics courses. 
Qualified candidates should hold a PhD in Linguistics. The Lecturer will 
teach eight semester-long courses within each academic year, with the 
possibility of one course relief for teaching administration.  The 
University of Alberta is committed to WebCT as an online course management
system and the appointee should be prepared to use this system. The
position itself involves no research responsibilities. The Lecturer will be
appointed for a five-year term (renewable).

The Department of Linguistics has a strong commitment to quality in 
teaching and research. The Department of Linguistics has participated in 
Community Service Learning, developed online, interactive learning 
objects, and integrated a state-of-the-art Humanities Computing Lab into 
selected courses. There are eleven full-time continuing faculty members in
the Department. More information about the Department can be found at
www.uofaweb.ualberta.ca/linguistics/.

Established in 1908 as a board-governed, public institution, the 
University of Alberta has earned the reputation of being one of the best 
universities in Canada based on our strengths in teaching, research, and 
services. The University of Alberta serves over 36,000 students in more 
than 200 undergraduate programs and 170 graduate programs 
(www.ualberta.ca/). 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 (www.arts.ualberta.ca). The University's main campus is 
located in Edmonton, the vibrant, cosmopolitan capital of the province of 
Alberta. The Edmonton metropolitan area is the sixth largest in the 
country with a population of approximately one million (www.edmonton.ca). 
Edmonton is located only a few hours drive from Banff and Jasper National 
Parks, which offer skiing in winter and excellent hiking and sightseeing 
in summer.

Salary is at the Assistant Professor level and is commensurate with 
qualifications and experience. Applicants should send curriculum vitae, a 
letter describing their interest in the position, a teaching dossier 
including evidence of any teaching awards, and evaluations of teaching 
performance to:  

Dr John Newman, Chair
Department of Linguistics
University of Alberta
4-32 Assiniboia Hall
Edmonton, AB, Canada  T6G 2E7
Tel: (780) 492-5500
Fax: (780) 492-0806
Email: john.newman at ualberta.ca

Applicants must also arrange for three letters of reference to be sent to 
the Chair. Closing date is November 30, 2006. Applications received after 
that may be considered if the position is not filled. The effective date 
of employment will be July 1, 2007. 

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and 
permanent residents will be given priority.  If suitable Canadian citizens 
or permanent residents cannot be found, other individuals will be 
considered.

The University of Alberta hires on the basis of merit.  We are committed 
to the principle of equity in employment. We welcome diversity and 
encourage applications from all qualified women and men, including persons
with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and Aboriginal persons.
