Description:

The Linguistics Department of the University of California, Santa Barbara
seeks to hire a linguist specializing in typologically informed field
linguistics. The primary consideration date is November 12, 2013. The
appointment will be a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level,
effective July 1, 2014. Candidates must have expertise in the analysis of
linguistic structure, a theoretical specialization in one or more of the
subfields of linguistics, experience in language documentation and
description, and research experience with one or more languages or language
families. We are especially interested in candidates with expertise in
technical fieldwork methodologies, work with lesser-known languages, and/or an
understanding of the roles of diachrony and contact in shaping language. The
ideal candidate will have the potential to link the theoretical implications
of his or her research to other subdisciplines in linguistics, and to interact
with colleagues and students across disciplinary boundaries at UCSB. The
ability to engage with the departmental focus on functional and usage-based
approaches to linguistic explanation is essential. Candidates must have
demonstrated excellence in teaching and will be expected to teach a range of
graduate and undergraduate courses in general linguistics and field
linguistics, including a year-long graduate field methods sequence.
