This position involves a specialization in Computational Linguistics or

computational methods while also contributing to the literature in one or more
core areas of linguistics. We especially encourage applications from
candidates who are eager and qualified to conduct collaborative research with
other members of our faculty, who will contribute actively to the success of
the department’s research and teaching missions, and who will contribute to
increasing the diversity of the department’s intellectual life and offerings.

Duties include a sustained research program, the mentorship of graduate and
undergraduate student-scholars, a standard teaching load of four courses per
year, and departmental and/or university service. The person hired into this
position will also help coordinate our new Computational Linguistics
Certificate Program and serve as a liaison between our department and our
colleagues in the university’s School of Computing. The salary for this
position is competitive and commensurate with the person’s qualifications. The
University of Utah offers a generous benefits package.

Located in metropolitan Salt Lake City in the foothills of the Wasatch
