Description:

The Department of Linguistics in the Faculty of Arts at the University of 
Alberta invites applications for a tenured position in Quantitative Linguistics 
at the Full Professor level. The successful candidate will be exceptionally 
well qualified with an outstanding research record in the application of 
quantitative, statistically-based techniques to the study of language, 
particularly in the areas of morphosyntax, language processing, and corpus 
linguistics. Responsibilities will include maintaining an active research 
program, teaching/supervision in both our undergraduate and graduate 
linguistics programs, and administrative service.

The Department of Linguistics has a strong commitment to empirical and 
experimental approaches to linguistic research. The Department consists of 
eleven full-time, continuing faculty members pursuing research projects in 
experimental phonetics, phonology, morphosyntax and semantics of 
Amerindian languages, cognitive linguistics, corpus linguistics, language 
documentation and revitalization, bilingual 1st and 2nd language acquisition 
and language impairment, psycholinguistics, computational/historical 
linguistics, and sociolinguistics. We usually have approximately 40 students 
in our graduate program at any given time, of which roughly one quarter are 
pursuing the MSc while the majority are working towards the PhD. More 
information about the Department can be found at 
http://www.linguistics.ualberta.ca.

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 38,000 students in more than 200 
undergraduate programs and 170 graduate programs (http://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 
(http://www.foa.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. 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.

Applicants should send curriculum vitae, a letter describing their areas of 
research interest, samples of publications, and, if available, a teaching 
dossier and evaluations of teaching performance to Dr. Sally Rice, at the 
application address or email address below.

Applicants must also arrange for three letters of reference to be sent in 
confidence to the Chair. The closing deadline is 13 January 2012. The 
effective date of employment will be 1 July 2012. Salary is negotiable and will 
be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

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.
