Description:

The Department of Linguistics, University of British Columbia – Vancouver,

commence no later than August 1, 2018. The successful candidate must hold a
PhD (or expect to have successfully defended prior to the position start date)
and must be within five years of having been awarded the PhD degree at the
start of the position.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will be expected to take a lead role in UBC’s Speech
in Context Lab directed by Prof. Molly Babel. Expertise in the areas of
auditory and acoustic phonetics are required, and interests in social and
nonsocial sources of phonetic variation, psycholinguistics, and
multilingualism are advantageous. The successful candidate is expected to
assist in the direction of the lab as well as the supervision of undergraduate
and graduate research assistants.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will also be expected to teach three courses: two
upper level undergraduate sections of Introduction to Phonetics and Speech
Science (LING 313) and the first level graduate phonetics course (LING 508).
There will also be opportunities for the Postdoctoral Fellow to interact with
UBC colleagues on research and teaching. Information about the Department and
faculty research can be found on our website, https://linguistics.ubc.ca.
There will be some support for research-associated costs, including conference
travel.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, a curriculum vitae, a one-page
statement of research plans, up to 2 sample publications, and evidence of
teaching experience and effectiveness. Application materials should be
submitted online at the application link below. In addition, applicants should
arrange for three confidential letters of reference to be sent directly to:

Vicki Ferguson, Manager of Administration, Department of Linguistics, The
University of British Columbia, ling.admin at ubc.ca.

Completed applications and reference letters must be received by June 1, 2018.
 Please include “Phonetics Postdoc Search” in the email subject line. For
questions about the position, please contact Professor Molly Babel at
molly.babel at ubc.ca.

This position is subject to final budgetary approval. Salary will be
commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. An open and diverse
community fosters the inclusion of voices that have been underrepresented or
discouraged. We encourage applications from members of groups that have been
