The Department of Linguistics and Languages of McMaster University invites

experimental expertise.

The Department of Linguistics and Languages is home to two undergraduate

interdisciplinary and include faculty from Humanities, Science, and Health
Sciences. The department has a strong research orientation and has expertise
in Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Neurolinguistics, Psycholinguistics,
Applied Linguistics, and Corpus Linguistics. The successful candidate should
be able to teach theoretical and experimental courses in phonetics and
phonology both at the undergraduate and graduate level, and should have a keen
interest in pursuing collaborative research within the department and beyond.
Familiarity in all aspects of phonetics (articulatory, auditory, acoustic),
with a focus on experimental methods (e.g., palatography), and an interest in
clinical applications is an asset as is an interest in Speech Language
Pathology. The department currently houses a neurolinguistics lab, brain and
memory lab, eye-tracking lab, syntax lab and a phonetics lab that will be
fully at the disposal of the successful candidate. Other resources available
to the successful candidate include a number of high resolution EEG systems,
eye-movement recording facilities, and a 3T research only MRI. For further
information on the Department of Linguistics and Languages, please see

The starting date for the appointment is scheduled for July 1, 2015.  Starting
salary will be based on experience and qualifications. Applicants should
submit a CV, representative samples of their research, and arrange for 3

Administrative Assistant, Department of Linguistics at the application email
