Description:

In anticipation of a newly independent Program in Linguistics, Brown
University is seeking applicants for a Postdoctoral Fellow for the 2023-2024
academic year with the possibility of renewal. The successful candidate will
teach one course each semester in their area of expertise. Ideally, one of
these would be an introductory level course for students with no linguistic
background in an area of general interest to undergraduates; the second course
can be a more advanced course in candidates’ area, suitable to undergraduates
with some linguistic background. The candidate will also be expected to
conduct research in their area appropriate to a postdoctoral fellow. We
especially welcome researchers that fill gaps in our curriculum and research
areas as described below, but at the same time we welcome research that
creates synergy with our ongoing program. The field is open, but we have
particular needs in Sociolinguistics, Phonetics, and Syntax. We welcome work
that focuses on variation across languages, dialects, and/or individuals,
including minoritized language varieties.

Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Linguistics or a related field. The position
begins July 1, 2023 for the fall semester of 2023; instruction begins
September 5. It is expected that the Ph.D. will be completed prior to the
start date, but ABD candidates will be considered provided that they expect to
complete their PhD prior to the start of Fall semester.

Through Interfolio (see link), please submit a letter of application, along
with a CV and two examples of scholarly work (e.g., a journal article, paper
from a conference proceedings, or dissertation chapter). Please also arrange
to have three letters of recommendation submitted on your behalf.
Additionally, please include a statement (or statements) covering the
following:
 - Your research experience and interests
 - Teaching experience and interests, including potential ideas of courses you
could contribute to our curriculum
 - Ways in which your teaching, scholarship, mentorship, and/or community
service support diversity and inclusion.

Diversity, equity and inclusion are integral to the commitment of Brown
Linguistics and the University. Accordingly, we seek qualified candidates who
can contribute to racial, gender, and other kinds of equity and inclusion
through service, mentorship, teaching and/or scholarship. Further, the program
is keenly interested in diversifying its faculty and encourages applications
from members of historically underrepresented group(s) in higher education.

Brown University is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive academic
global community; as an EEO/AA employer, Brown considers qualified applicants
for employment without regard to, and does not discriminate on the basis of,
gender, race, color, national origin, sexual orientation, religion, protected
veteran status, disability, or any other legally protected status.

Application Deadline: Review of applications will begin March 17, open until
filled.
