Subject: Computational Linguistics: Chair of Department, University of North Texas, USA

 
University or Organization: University of North Texas 
Department: Linguistics
Job Location: Texas, USA 
Web Address: https://linguistics.unt.edu/
Job Title: Chair of the Department - Associate or Full Professor
Job Rank: Chair of Department

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics 


Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of North Texas invites
applications at the rank of Associate or Full Professor or equivalent with the
additional responsibility as the Chair of the Department.

While the research specialization is open, we are especially interested in
candidates whose research complements the typological, fieldwork oriented,
data rich, and experimental approaches of the department. The applicant may
visit the department website to learn about our research areas. We are looking
for candidates who are committed to building on existing relationships with
other units in the College of Information, including but not limited to the
areas of information organization for language data and teaching language
using new technologies.

The Chair duties will include supporting current efforts to promote advanced
research and programmatic growth within the undergraduate and graduate levels
as the Department seeks to extend its national and international recognition.
The applicant may visit the department website to learn about our academic
programs.

A PhD in Linguistics, Computer Science, Cognitive Science or a related field
with a preference of background in computational linguistics / natural
language processing is sought.

Applicants seeking appointment with tenure at the associate professor rank or
full professor rank must meet UNT’s criteria for tenure at the appropriate
level.

The Department of Linguistics moved from the College of Arts and Sciences to
the College of Information (COI) in Fall 2014, and in Fall 2016 it became the
department in the college that includes two other departments: Information
Science, and Learning Technologies. The move to COI has positioned the
Department of Linguistics in a collaborative environment for developing
innovative curricula that incorporate research on language structure and use
with database design and management, text mining, computational and
quantitative methods in linguistics, and natural language processing. We seek
candidates who will foster the existing creative and collaborative environment
in the department, and who will build on the existing strengths of the faculty
to lead the department in exciting new directions in linguistic research.

UNT is among the top forty largest universities in the nation and is ranked a
Tier One university by the Carnegie Classification. Degree programs in the
Department of Linguistics include a BA in Linguistics, an MA in Linguistics,
and MA in ESL, an Interdisciplinary MS in Computational Linguistics, and a
Graduate Academic Certificate in TESOL.

Students in the Information Science (IS) Ph.D. program hosted by the COI
Department of Information Science may also opt to do a concentration in
linguistics. Additional information about degrees, courses, and faculty can be
found at https://linguistics.unt.edu/.
