Description:

The University of Florida invites applications for a tenure-track appointment
in computational language science at the rank of assistant professor,
effective August 16, 2019. This is a 9-month position. Applicants are expected
to have a Ph.D. in linguistics, computer science, or a closely-related field.
Candidates should have an active research agenda studying language from a
computational perspective. Specialization is open, including but not limited
to sociolinguistics, neuro/psycholinguistics, corpus linguistics, and/or
language documentation. UF Linguistics seeks to train the next generation of
linguists who are comfortable integrating and evaluating computational
approaches in their research. To this end, ability to teach
computationally-oriented courses is required. Candidates must hold the Ph.D.
by the starting date.

The successful candidate will be expected to:
- Maintain an active research agenda, 
- Pursue external research funding, 
- Teach two courses per semester at the undergraduate and/or graduate level, 
- Provide service to the department, the university, and the profession, and 
- Seek collaborations within the department as well as with other units on
campus such as the UF Data Science and Information Technology Center, the UF
Informatics Institute, or the McKnight Brain Institute.

The Department is committed to creating an environment that affirms diversity
and inclusion across a variety of dimensions, including ability, class,
ethnicity/race, religion and/or cultural background, gender identity and
expression. We particularly welcome applicants who can contribute to such an
environment through their scholarship, teaching, mentoring, and professional
service. The university and greater Gainesville community enjoy a diversity of
cultural events, restaurants, year-round outdoor recreational activities, and
social opportunities

Salary is competitive, commensurate with qualifications and experience, and
includes a full benefits package.

The Linguistics Department at the University of Florida is a vibrant and
congenial unit consisting of 11 full-time faculty and 15 affiliated faculty in
the departments of Anthropology; Languages, Literatures, and Cultures; Spanish
and Portuguese; and the Dial Center for Written & Oral Communication. We offer
a B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. in Linguistics, as well as an undergraduate minor and
undergraduate certificate in TESL and a graduate certificate in Second
Language Acquisition and Teaching. We have faculty expertise in a wide range
of linguistic subfields, and particular strengths in the areas of
bilingualism, language documentation, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and
African linguistics. Please see our website, provided above, for more
information about the department.

For full consideration, applications must be submitted online at the
application link provided below and must include:
- A brief cover letter, 
- A statement of teaching and research interests, 
- A CV, 
- 1-3 sample publications, 
- The names and email addresses for three references, and 
- Representative teaching evaluations if available. 

After initial review, letters of recommendation will be requested for selected
applicants. Review of applications will begin on 18 November 2018 and will
continue until the position is filled.

All candidates for employment are subject to a pre-employment screening which
includes a review of criminal records, reference checks, and verification of
education.
