completes all the requirements for the doctorate during the first 24 months of

persons who can supply a letter of reference, and such additional materials 
as may be specified below. The application must provide evidence of 
excellence in teaching and research. Applications should reach the Head no 
later than October 28, 2011.

Qualifications are: Ph.D. (or near completion) in Linguistics, with 
specialization in second language acquisition and the abili-ty to teach French 
as a second language as well as courses in Linguistics in both English and 
French. Applicants should have a record of effective teaching and conduct an 
active research program focusing on the acquisition of French as a second 
language. The successful applicant will be expected to teach French as a 
second language as well as a range of courses in phonology, morphology and 
second language acquisition at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The 
ability to teach both in English and in French is a must. The successful 
applicant will also be expected to undertake graduate supervision in either 
department, to maintain an active research program on the second language 
acquisition of French, and to contribute to administrative duties in each
