Description:

Version française de cette annonce:

The Department of Cognitive Studies (DEC;
http://www.cognition.ens.fr/indexENG.html) at Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS),
Paris anticipates that it will advertise a professorship in formal or
experimental linguistics in Fall 2015 (for a starting date in Fall 2016).

The position will be either at the senior level (‘Professeur’), or at the
junior level (‘Maître de Conférences’), depending on the field of potential
applicants. (An ‘open rank’ search is not possible and thus the level will be
determined before the position is officially advertised.)

While the precise job description will become available only when the position
is officially granted to DEC, it will probably include the following
desiderata:

– A strong research record, as evidenced by publications in top-ranked
international peer-reviewed journals;
– For senior applicants, a strong teaching record at the advanced
undergraduate (corresponding to beginning ENS students) and graduate level;
– An ability to teach in French within one year of the starting date, and to
play an active role in shaping the linguistics curriculum within ENS and in
associated MA programs;
– An ability to take an active part in the organization of the DEC-Linguistics
group, which comprises several teams (http://iec-ling.ens.fr/?lang=en); and to
take on administrative responsibilities within DEC;
– An ability to interact productively with partner teams within DEC and more
broadly in Paris, both within linguistics and the cognitive sciences
(including philosophy of language/mind).

Desired specializations are likely to include formal theoretical linguistics
and/or experimental linguistics; an ability to teach graduate-level syntax
might be helpful.

DEC has appointed a search committee in charge of ensuring that the position
is advertised internationally. Its members are:

Emmanuel Chemla (LSCP; DEC)
Alec Marantz (Scientific Advisory Committee of DEC)
Sharon Peperkamp (LSCP; Director of DEC)
Philippe Schlenker (Institut Jean-Nicod; DEC)
Benjamin Spector (Institut Jean-Nicod; Director of Studies, DEC)

Once the position is officially granted to DEC, ENS will appoint a separate
selection committee in charge of establishing a shortlist, conducting
interviews and ranking applicants in accordance with procedural rules within
ENS and the French system.

In case the position is advertised at the senior level, it should be noted
that while applications for a professorship require a ‘Habilitation’ (French:
‘Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches’),  applicants with a position abroad
who are not ‘habilitated’, or who are established in countries where there is
no habilitation, undergo a specific application procedure that probes
equivalent academic qualification.

Potential applicants are hereby invited to contact the search committee to
receive further information about the procedure and about linguistics at DEC.



Application Deadline: 31-May-2016 (Open until filled)
