The Department of Linguistics at McGill University invites applications for a

whose research agenda complements the existing strengths of the Department,
including candidates whose work draws on data obtained through fieldwork, or
through experimental, quantitative, or computational methods. 

The successful candidate that satisfies the eligibility conditions of the
Canada Research Chair (CRC) program may be supported by the University for
nomination to a Tier 2 Chair in Theoretical Syntax, which provides protected
time for research within a full-time academic appointment.

Job Duties:
Duties will include research, undergraduate and graduate teaching, graduate
research guidance and administrative responsibilities. 

Qualifications and Education requirements:
A PhD in linguistics or a related discipline and demonstrated excellence in
research and teaching in the area(s) of specialization.
  
Candidates who do not satisfy the CRC eligibility criteria for a Tier 2 Chair
are nonetheless invited to apply for the position.

Salary: Commensurate with qualifications and experience 
Application Deadline: November 5, 2018

Applications must be submitted online to the application link provided below. 
The following supporting documents are required: 
- A letter of introduction
- A curriculum vita
- A statement of research
- A teaching statement
- Samples of research
- Teaching evaluations (if available) 
- The names and contact information of three referees. For Tier 2 nominees at
the rank of Assistant Professor who are within three years of their PhD, one
referee must be the PhD supervisor. 

McGill University hires on the basis of merit and is strongly committed to
equity and diversity within its community. We welcome and encourage
applications from racialized persons/visible minorities, women, Indigenous
persons, persons with disabilities, ethnic minorities, and persons of minority
sexual orientations and gender identities, as well as from all qualified
candidates with the skills and knowledge to productively engage with diverse
communities. 

McGill further recognizes and fairly considers the impact of leaves (e.g.,
family care or health-related) that may contribute to career interruptions or
slowdowns. Candidates are encouraged to signal any leave that affected
productivity, may have had an effect on their career path. This information
will be considered to ensure the equitable assessment of the candidate’s
record.

McGill implements an employment equity program and encourages members of
designated equity groups to self-identify. It further seeks to ensure the
equitable treatment and full inclusion of persons with disabilities by
striving for the implementation of universal design principles transversally,
across all facets of the University community, and through accommodation
policies and procedures. Persons with disabilities who anticipate needing
accommodations for any part of the application process may contact, in
confidence, Professor Angela Campbell, Associate Provost (Equity and Academic
Policies) by email or phone at 514-398-1660.

All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply; however, in accordance with
Canadian immigration requirements, Canadians and permanent residents will be
given priority.
