Description:

The Department of Language Studies at the University of Toronto Scarborough

shortly thereafter.

Candidates must have earned a PhD in Linguistics, Computer Science,
Psychology, Cognitive Science or a closely related area—with a focus on
computational linguistics—by the time of appointment, or shortly thereafter.
We seek candidates whose research and teaching interests complement and
enhance our departmental strengths (https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/dls/faculty)
in theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics, and Indigenous language
revitalization. The successful candidate will have a graduate appointment in
the department of Linguistics https://www.linguistics.utoronto.ca/. She/he
will be expected to pursue innovative and independent research at the highest
international level and to establish an outstanding, competitive, and
externally funded research program. 

Candidates must have a strong focus on applying computational methods to
questions in linguistic research, e.g., language structure, processing,
acquisition. Research connections with NLP/speech technology will be
considered an asset. The ideal candidate will also demonstrate an ability to
teach foundational linguistics courses.

Candidates must provide evidence of research excellence through a record of
publications in top-ranked journals/conference proceedings or forthcoming
publications meeting high international standards, the submitted research
statement, significant conference presentations, awards and accolades, and
strong endorsements from referees of high standing. Evidence of excellence in
teaching will be provided through the teaching dossier and strong letters of
reference. Candidates must also show evidence of a commitment to equity,
diversity, and inclusion, through the application materials. Salary will be
commensurate with qualifications and experience.

All qualified candidates are invited to apply online via the link below.
Applicants must submit a cover letter, a CV, a research statement outlining
current and future research, a recent writing sample, and a teaching dossier,
including a teaching statement, sample course materials, ideas for future
teaching, and course evaluations. Applicants must also provide names of three
references, and ensure that references submit letters (on letterhead, dated
and signed) by the closing date. Submission guidelines are at
http://uoft.me/how-to-apply. Please upload your CV and cover letter into the
dedicated fields, and combine additional materials into one/two files in
PDF/MS Word. 

For any questions, contact Prof. Juvénal Ndayiragije at the email address
below. All application materials, including reference letters, must be
received by November 17, 2022. 

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and

strongly committed to the diversity within its community and especially
welcomes applications from racialized persons / persons of colour, women,
Indigenous / Aboriginal People of North America, persons with disabilities,
LGBTQ2S+ persons, and others who may contribute to the further diversification
of ideas.
