Description:

The University of Oklahoma announces a tenure-track position at the level of

of courses from the existing undergraduate curriculum that best fits with his

candidate will also be expected to develop new courses for the major and to
contribute to the growth of the linguistics program. The new hire must be able
to involve students in his or her own research program, supervise Independent
Studies, Honors Research, student papers to be presented at Undergraduate
Research Day, and other forms of high-impact learning. The teaching load is
four courses per year. Salary is competitive.

While any research specialty in the core areas of theoretical linguistics is
acceptable, we will give a preference to those with formal training and
teaching experience in syntax, semantics, and/or morphology. Applicants with
experience working with Native American Languages and with Native American
communities are especially welcome to apply. Candidates should note if they
have experience or secondary interests in areas that overlap with, for
example, technology, computer science, corpora, or medicine.

Qualifications:

- Evidence of outstanding teaching
- A commitment to understanding issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion
(ensuring that all students in a diverse community, including members of
traditionally underrepresented groups, are supported)

the position is filled.
