The Department of Linguistics at Georgetown University invites applications

languages, especially understudied languages spoken in Africa.

About the Department: 
The mission of the Linguistics Department at Georgetown is to contribute
knowledge of a diversity of linguistic phenomena through different modes of
inquiry. We examine language through its structure, acquisition, use in
context, and via computational models. We value the legitimacy and relevance
of research at every level of analysis. We house a doctoral program and
several master’s programs which are organized into four concentrations, and we
offer a major and a minor in linguistics. With all our curricular programs,
our faculty and student research, and our service to the field and the
community, we provide a foundation of linguistic study built upon a tradition
of unique pluralism.

Qualifications: 
A Ph.D. in Linguistics is required prior to appointment start date. Candidates
must show strong promise of excellence in teaching as well as research. The
successful candidate must be able to teach courses in person in Washington,
D.C.

Application Instructions: 
Please submit the following required materials:
 - Cover letter addressing research and teaching
 - CV
