Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Davis invites
applicants for a Tenure-track Assistant Professor position in
Psycholinguistics/Neurolinguistics.  

The candidate is expected to develop a research program in
psycholinguistics/neurolinguistics that uses quantitative approaches (e.g.
experimental, clinical, modeling, etc.) to investigate language use in
real-world contexts. S/he should have expertise in research methodologies that
reveal insights about the biological basis of language. Specific areas of
interest include (but are not limited to) perceptual linguistic adaptation,
speech recognition, dynamic models of language interaction, lexical planning
and language production, language dissolution and rehabilitation,
multilingualism, first/second language acquisition, signed language, lexical
meaning and semantic interpretation. 

Strong background in linguistics is required. The successful candidate should
be able to work collaboratively in a department that attends to traditional
areas of linguistic research (e.g. Phonetics, Morphological and Syntactic
Theory, Language Typology and Sociolinguistics).  UC Davis boasts an active
group of renowned Language Science Faculty, many of whom have expertise in
sentence processing
http://swaab.faculty.ucdavis.edu/language-sciences-faculty/.  We seek a
candidate that will expand their research scope by adding expertise in
additional research areas.   

The appointee will be required to teach undergraduate and graduate level
courses in general topics in linguistics, and in areas of specialization. 
Mentoring of undergraduate students interested in clinical applications of
linguistics, supervision of graduate students, involvement in curricular
development, and performance of university service are expected.  

A Ph.D. in Linguistics, or a closely related field, such as Psychology,
Cognitive Science must be completed by the beginning of instruction.  

Applicants should submit:  curriculum vitae, a cover letter that clearly
states research and teaching interests and background, official graduate
transcripts, one writing sample (publication, submitted manuscript, or
dissertation chapter), a summary or abstract of the Ph.D. dissertation, and
three letters of recommendation through the online application system found at
the application URL below. This recruitment is conducted at the assistant
rank. The resulting hire will be at the assistant rank, regardless of the
proposed appointee’s qualifications.

The position will remain open until filled. Applications received by October
16, 2016 will receive full initial consideration.

The University of California, Davis, is an affirmative action/equal
opportunity employer with a strong institutional commitment to the achievement
of diversity among its faculty and staff.

Application Deadline: 16-Oct-2016 (Open until filled)

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
