Boston University is an AAU institution with a rich tradition of inclusion and
social justice. We are proud that we were the first American university to
award a PhD to a woman (1877) and that Martin Luther King Jr. received his PhD
here (1955). The Linguistics Program is committed to the College of Arts &
Sciences Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan
(https://www.bu.edu/cas/about/diversity-inclusion/) for building a diverse,
inclusive, and accessible environment for all. Applications from women,
minorities, and candidates from other underrepresented groups are strongly
encouraged. Recognizing that diversity of experience deepens the intellectual
endeavor, we are dedicated to increasing the participation of all talented
students, including those from underrepresented groups, in the study of
language and are particularly interested in scholars who can contribute to the
diversity and inclusiveness of the academic community, at BU and beyond,
through their research, teaching, and service.

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive
consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex,
