University or Organization: University of Rochester 
Department: Linguistics
Job Location: New York, USA

Job Title: Linguistics: Assistant or Associate Professor - Syntax & Related Subfields
Job Rank: Asst/Assoc Professor

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics; Language Documentation; Sociolinguistics; Syntax 


Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Rochester welcomes
applicants for a tenure track faculty position. The appointment begins July 1,
2019. The position is open rank, with a preference for candidates at the level
of Associate Professor. Strong junior candidates, with Ph.D. in hand, will
also be considered. The opening is in the area of Syntax, though exceptionally
strong candidates in closely related fields may be considered.

Applicants must have a record of excellence in both teaching and research. The
most successful applicants will have solid expertise in formal theory coupled
with a strong empirical and/or computational orientation, employing empirical
or computational methodologies to examine data and topics in contemporary
issues in linguistics. This may take the form of active engagement in
linguistic fieldwork, the application of data sciences techniques to
linguistic corpora, experimental investigation, or computational methodology
to name but a few. Evidence of an additional area of expertise beyond syntax
is most welcome and highly valued (e.g., morphology, semantics, in-depth
knowledge of a language family, sociolinguistics), to leverage existing
research in or outside the department.

A Ph.D. in Linguistics or in another closely-related area is required;
however, a candidate should be able to teach core linguistics courses in a
vigorous undergraduate program and to contribute to Masters and PhD programs
in Linguistics grounded in cross-disciplinary, collaborative work, and
incorporating contemporary issues and practices.

The Department of Linguistics offers a Ph.D. Program, MA programs in
Linguistics and in Language Documentation and Description, an MS program in
Computational Linguistics (offered jointly with Computer Science), and a BA in
Linguistics. The department most highly values work which links to other
departments and programs in the strong interdisciplinary language community at
the University of Rochester. The ideal candidate will have research interests
that complement those of faculty in the Department of Linguistics and the
broader Rochester language community. The Department of Linguistics is
affiliated with the Center for Language Sciences, which includes researchers
interested in language and cognition from several departments and programs
across the University, including Arts and Sciences, Engineering, the Medical
School and the Eastman School of Music.

For fullest consideration, a completed application should be submitted by 3
December 2018.

The University of Rochester, an Equal Opportunity Employer, has a strong
commitment to diversity and actively encourages applications from candidates
from groups underrepresented in higher education.
