Description:

The Department of Linguistics, Faculty of Arts and Science at the University

the area of Language Diversity. The appointment will be at the rank of
Assistant Professor, and will begin on July 1, 2019.

Applicants must have earned a PhD in linguistics by the date of appointment or
shortly thereafter, with a demonstrated record of excellence in research and
teaching. We seek candidates whose research and teaching interests complement
and strengthen our existing departmental strengths. Candidates must have
expertise and experience in syntax, semantics and experimental fieldwork of
Brazilian languages with the aim of strengthening international partnerships
and developing exchange and experiential learning programs with institutions
and universities in Brazil. 

The successful candidate will be expected to pursue innovative and independent
research at the highest international level and to establish an outstanding,
competitive, and externally funded research program, and maintain an active
research agenda. The successful candidate will also be expected to teach and
supervise students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, advance
linguistically-grounded relationships with Brazil and participate in the
academic life of the department. 

Candidates must provide evidence of research excellence as demonstrated by a
record of publications or forthcoming publications in top-ranked and field
relevant journals meeting high international standards, the submitted research
statement, presentations at significant conferences, accolades or awards, and
strong endorsements by referees of high standing.

Evidence of excellence in teaching linguistics will be provided through
teaching accomplishments, the teaching dossier, a teaching statement, sample
course syllabi, and the teaching evaluations submitted as part of the
application, as well as strong letters of reference.  
 
Additionally, evidence of deep engagement with Brazilian languages must be
demonstrated in research outputs and by collaborations with Brazilian
communities and existing (or planned) partnerships in Brazil. 

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

All qualified applicants are invited to apply at the application link provided
below. Applicants should arrange to have three letters of reference as signed
documents on letterhead, preferably as a PDF document, sent directly to Sali
Tagliamonte via email to linguistics at utoronto.ca with the subject line:
“Language Diversity – (your full name)” by the job closing date.

Please combine your application into one or two files. If you have questions
about this position, please email the contact address above.

All application materials, including reference letters should be submitted
online and received by October 9th, 2018 11:59PM EST.

The University of Toronto is strongly committed to diversity within its
community and especially welcomes applications from racialized persons/persons
of colour, women, Indigenous/Aboriginal People of North America, persons with
disabilities, LGBTQ persons, and others who may contribute to the further
diversification of ideas. As part of your application, you will be asked to
complete a brief Diversity Survey. For more information, please see
