Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia, 
Vancouver, invites applications for a tenure-track position in Phonology to 
begin July 1, 2012, with appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor. 
The successful candidate should have a primary specialisation in 
Phonology. We especially encourage applicants with research expertise in 
linguistic fieldwork on less well-studied languages, especially indigenous 
languages of the Americas, or languages of Asia or Africa. Candidates 
must have a Ph.D. in Linguistics or a closely related field and are expected 
to demonstrate a record of or potential for high-quality research and 
teaching of a variety of courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels. 
The successful candidate will be expected to maintain an active program of 
research, teaching (including graduate supervision), and service. The 
position is subject to final budgetary approval. Salary will be commensurate 
with qualifications and experience.

The Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia offers 
graduate degree programs in Linguistics and in Cognitive Systems (an 
interdisciplinary program involving several other departments) and 
undergraduate degree programs in Linguistics, Speech Science, First 
Nations Languages & Linguistics, and Cognitive Systems. Research in the 
department covers a broad range of subfields in linguistics, and 
approaches these from a variety of perspectives, with particular strengths in 
formal-theoretical linguistics, experimental and field linguistics, language 
acquisition, and computational approaches to the study of communicative 
behaviour. The department is a centre for the study of the indigenous 
languages of the Americas, with a particular focus on the First Nations 
languages of western Canada; there is also a long history of work on 
African languages. See the department website 
(http://www.linguistics.ubc.ca) for further details.

Please send (electronically or by hardcopy) a letter of application, 
curriculum vitae, representative samples of published or unpublished work, 
evidence of teaching effectiveness, and any additional supporting 
documents to the address below by January 16, 2012. In addition, 
applicants should arrange for three confidential letters of recommendation 
to be sent separately by the same date (again, electronically or by 
hardcopy) to:
