Job Rank: Chair of Department

Description:

The Department of Linguistics within the Faculty of Arts at the University of 
Alberta invites applications for the tenured position of Department Chair at the 
rank of Associate or Full Professor. The Department consists of eleven full-
time, continuing faculty members and currently is home to 40 graduate 
students at the Masters and PhD level. The Department of Linguistics has a 
strong commitment to empirical and experimental approaches to linguistic 
research and its members conduct investigations in phonetics, the 
morphosyntax and semantics of Amerindian languages, child bilingual 
acquisition, child language impairment, corpus linguistics, psycholinguistics, 
phonology, cognitive linguistics, child and adult 2nd language acquisition, 
language documentation and revitalization, computational historical 
linguistics, and sociolinguistics. More information about the Department can 
be found at www.linguistics.ualberta.ca.

The Chair will be someone with a strong sense of collaborative leadership and 
a clear commitment to continuing to develop the Department's standing within 
the University, within Canada, and internationally on the cutting edge of data-
centred approaches to the study of human language and linguistic 
development. The Chair will support a culture of grantsmanship, will 
contribute to the development of graduate and undergraduate programmes in 
the Department and will foster the activities of the in-house research facilities
—the Centre for Comparative Psycholinguistics, the Language 
Documentation Research Cluster, Alberta Phonetics Lab, and the Language 
Acquisition Lab; an active participation in one or more of these groups would 
be expected.

Candidates must hold a PhD, together with a distinguished record in 
university teaching and research, (including a strong track record of 
appropriate grant activity) in areas of interest to the Department. 
Demonstrated administrative experience will be preferred.  The successful 
candidate should have strong interpersonal communication skills and a 
commitment to excellence in teaching and research, as well as a scholarly 
track record suitable for appointment at a senior rank. Salary is negotiable 
and will be commensurate with experience and rank.

The University of Alberta, one of Canada's largest and most accomplished 
research universities, is situated in Edmonton, a metropolitan area of over 
one million with a vibrant artistic community and excellent standard of living. 
Established in 1908 as a board-governed public institution, the University of 
Alberta has earned the reputation of being one of the top five universities in 
Canada based on its strengths in teaching, research and service. The 
University of Alberta serves over 38,000 students in more than 200 
undergraduate 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).
To receive consideration, online applications (including an up-to-date 
curriculum vitae and the names of at least three referees), nominations, or 
expressions of interest should be submitted by October 15, 2012, however, 
the competition will remain open until a suitable candidate is found.
