Description:

Applications are invited for

Department of Linguistics and Modern Languages
Associate Professor / Assistant Professor (Syntactic Theory and Comparative
Syntax)
(Ref. 180000E3) (Closing date: March 31, 2018)

The Department of Linguistics and Modern Languages is a young and vibrant
Department, devoted to the study of language and mind, with strengths in
theoretical linguistics, language acquisition, bilingualism, sign linguistics
and neurolinguistics. We are seeking a linguist who specializes in syntactic
theory and comparative syntax. The appointment will be at the rank of
Assistant Professor or Associate Professor, depending on the credentials of
the candidate.

The Department is particularly interested in applicants whose research has a
strong grounding in linguistic theory and who employ conventional and/or
contemporary research methods to address core issues in linguistics.
Applicants whose research crosses multiple areas of linguistics and cognate
areas are especially welcome. Research expertise in the comparative study of
modern languages (including Chinese, English, French, German, Korean or
Spanish) under the framework of the Minimalist Program will be a definite
advantage.

Applicants should have (i) a PhD degree in linguistics; (ii) a strong
commitment to effective teaching; and (iii) a record of excellence in research
in the relevant field consistent with rank and history of employment.

The primary medium of instruction of the Department is English, for both
undergraduate and postgraduate classes. The Department collaborates closely
with other departments and research units across the University, and is
equipped with state-of-the-art research facilities, including sound chambers,
eye trackers, and EEG systems.

The appointee is expected to (a) teach undergraduate and postgraduate
linguistics courses; (b) supervise projects and theses of undergraduate, MA,
MPhil and PhD students; (c) conduct programmatic research in his/her areas of
expertise, with external funding; and (d) undertake administrative duties.

Appointment will normally be made on contract basis for up to three years
initially commencing January 2019 or as early as possible, which, subject to
mutual agreement, may lead to longer-term appointment or substantiation later.

The University only accepts and considers applications submitted online for
the post above. For more information and to apply online, please visit the
