University or Organization: The University of British Columbia

Job Location: Vancouver, BC, Canada

Job Title: Assistant Professor, Syntax (tenure track)
Job Rank: Assistant Professor

Specialty Areas: Syntax 


Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia,
Vancouver, invites applications for a tenure-track position in Syntax to begin
July 1, 2020, with appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor.

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Linguistics or a closely related field, with a
research specialization in formal syntax. Research expertise in the
interface(s) between syntax and other domains is an asset. Applicants are
expected to demonstrate a record of or strong potential for high-quality
research and teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels. The successful
candidate will be expected to contribute to teaching in our undergraduate and
graduate programs and to participate in graduate supervision. The ideal
candidate will be able to teach not only courses in theoretical syntax, but
also introductory or general linguistics courses.

We especially encourage applicants whose research involves a focus on
empirical issues and involves primary data collection, particularly involving
fieldwork but also possibly including experimental research. A research focus
on under-studied languages — especially the languages of Africa, the Americas,
or Asia — is highly desirable. 

As this is a tenure-track position, the successful candidate will be reviewed
for reappointment, tenure, and promotion in subsequent years, in accordance
with the Collective Agreement. For a description of the criteria for
reappointment and promotion, visit:
http://www.hr.ubc.ca/faculty-relations/collective-agreements/appointment-facul
ty/.

The Department covers a broad range of subfields in linguistics. See the
Department website (http://www.linguistics.ubc.ca) for further details.
Candidates who can complement existing strengths in research and teaching,
contribute to an inclusive intellectual culture, and make links with other
units on campus are especially welcome.

Applicants are asked to provide: 
- A letter of application,
- A curriculum vitae,
- Research and teaching statements (including evidence of teaching
effectiveness), 
- A one-page statement about their experience working with a diverse student
body and their contributions or potential contributions to creating/advancing
a culture of equity and inclusion, 
- No more than three samples of published or unpublished scholarship, 
- Along with any additional supporting documents (max. file size 3MB per
document). 

Applications must be submitted online at the application link provided below
by December 1, 2019.

In addition, applicants should arrange for three confidential signed letters
of recommendation to be sent separately by the same date to ling.admin at ubc.ca.

This position is subject to final budgetary approval. Salary will be
commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. An open and diverse
community fosters the inclusion of voices that have been underrepresented or
discouraged. We encourage applications from members of groups that have been
marginalized on any grounds enumerated under the B.C. Human Rights Code,
including sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression,
racialization, disability, political belief, religion, marital or family
status, age, and/or status as a First Nation, Métis, Inuit, or Indigenous
person. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians
and permanent residents will be given priority.
