competitive and externally-funded research program in support of the research
and teaching missions of the Department of Linguistics and University College.

Candidates must provide evidence of research excellence as demonstrated by a
record of publications in top-ranked and field relevant journals or
forthcoming publications 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 will be provided through teaching
accomplishments, the teaching dossier, a teaching statement, sample course
syllabi, and the teaching evaluations submitted as part of the applications,
as well as strong letters of reference.

Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
