University or Organization: University of Pennsylvania 
Department: Linguistics
Job Location: Pennsylvania, USA 
Web Address: http://www.ling.upenn.edu
Job Rank: Assistant Professor  

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics 

Description:

The School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania invites 
applications for a tenure-track assistant professor appointment in evolution, 
broadly interpreted. We are interested in exceptional scientists and 
mathematicians who have well-developed research programs employing 
mathematical or computational techniques to study the evolution of 
dynamical processes far from equilibrium in the context of any of the 
following:  biology, chemistry, or materials from the molecular to the systems 
scale, language, geology, psychology, or the environment.  

The successful candidate's primary appointment will be in a single 
department in the natural sciences: Biology, Chemistry, Earth and 
Environmental Science, Linguistics, Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy, 
or Psychology. Secondary appointments in other departments can be 
arranged, as appropriate. This appointment will be the first in a cluster of 
appointments across the natural sciences in various aspects of evolution; the 
successful candidate should therefore have a strong interest in building such 
a program and in interacting with researchers from other disciplines whose 
research lies within the overarching theme of evolution. The successful 
candidate will teach courses in his or her home department and will 
participate in the development of curriculum pertinent to the theme of the 
cluster.  

Applications should be submitted on-line at the application URL below and 
include a curriculum vitae, a research statement that includes the candidate's 
perspective on how she or he fits into one of the core departments, links to 
no more than three journal publications, and the contact information for three 
individuals who will be contacted by the University with instructions on how to 
submit a letter of recommendation. Review of applications will begin 16 
November 2012 and will continue until the position is filled. 

The University of Pennsylvania is an affirmative action/equal opportunity 
employer and is strongly committed to establishing a diverse faculty:
