Description:

The University of Auckland's Faculty of Arts seeks to appoint a Professor
of Linguistics within the Department of Applied Language Studies and
Linguistics.  The successful applicant is expected to have an established
reputation in the field, with a distinguished record in research and
publication along with the ability to take a leadership role in research,
teaching and the supervision of postgraduate students.  The preferred areas
of specialization are in either phonology and morphology or
psycholinguistics. Strong applications from candidates in related areas may
also be considered. 

The Department of Applied Language Studies and Linguistics is one of the
largest departments in the Faculty of Arts and one of the top departments
of its kind in Australia and New Zealand. It offers undergraduate
programmes in Linguistics, ESOL and English language teaching and
postgraduate programmes up to PhD level in Linguistics and Applied Language
Studies. Among departments in the Faculty, it ranks first both in the
number of doctoral candidates (currently about 35) and the number of
international students. There is a strong research culture within the
Department and a very good record in attracting external research grants.
The successful applicant will be expected to enhance these existing
strengths and should also be willing to take on substantial
responsibilities in departmental administration. The current teaching staff
number around 23, including a professor of applied language studies, three
associate professors, seven senior lecturers, three lecturers and five
senior tutors.  

Linguistics is a well-established discipline at the University of Auckland,
long predating the formation of the present department in 2001. There are
existing strengths in sociolinguistics, conversation analysis, historical
linguistics, language contact, pidgins and creoles, Austronesian languages
and Mandarin to complement and extend the core teaching programme in
phonetics and phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics.  Staff in
Linguistics contribute to programmes in Speech Science and in Logic and
Computation, and there are good opportunities for productive collaboration
with staff in Asian Studies, Maori Studies, European Languages and
Literatures, and Psychology, according to the successful applicant's
interests and area of specialization.

Professor John Read, or alternatively the Deputy Head for Linguistics, Dr
Frank Lichtenberk on +64 9 373 7599 ext 88585 or email
