Job description: The 3-year junior position is opened in any area of

international peer-reviewed journals) and a dynamic research program;
– An ability to interact productively with partner teams within DEC;
– An ability to play an active role in shaping the linguistics curriculum at
ENS;
– An ability to teach in French within two years from the starting date.

Applicants should have completed their PhD before the starting date.

Research Environment: DEC offers a highly interdisciplinary environment.
Language-related research at DEC is conducted in several research groups which
interact with each other. For an overview of language-related research, please
consult http://iec-ling.ens.fr/?lang=en.

Teaching obligations: about 4 hours per week (one or two courses per
semester), for about 26 weeks per year,  and individual advising of some
students. 

Net Salary: The starting net salary will range from 2400 and 2800 euros/month,
depending on experience, and will gradually increase each year. 

Procedural details (pertaining in particular to  the selection committee and
to video interviews of selected applicants) will be made in due course at:

The application file, which will be sent by email, should contain the
