Job Description:

The Linguistics Department of the University of California, Santa 
Barbara seeks to hire a linguist specializing in typologically-informed 
field linguistics.

For primary consideration, submit materials by November 12, 2013.

The appointment will be a tenure-track position at the Assistant 
Professor level, effective July 1, 2014. Candidates must have expertise 
in the analysis of linguistic structure, a theoretical specialization in 
one or more subfields of linguistics, experience in language 
documentation and description, and research experience with one or more 
languages or language families. We are especially interested in 
candidates with expertise in technical fieldwork methodologies, work 
with lesser-known languages, and/or an understanding of the roles of 
diachrony and contact in shaping language. The ideal candidate will have 
the potential to link the theoretical implications of his or her 
research to other sub-disciplines in linguistics, and to interact with 
colleagues and students across disciplinary boundaries at UCSB. The 
ability to engage with the departmental focus on functional and 
usage-based approaches to linguistic explanation is essential. 
Candidates must have demonstrated excellence in teaching and will be 
expected to teach a range of graduate and undergraduate courses in 
general linguistics and field linguistics, including a year-long 
graduate field methods sequence. The Ph.D. in linguistics or a related 
field is required. The degree is normally required by the time of 
appointment. The position will remain open until filled.

Please submit all materials via the online UC Recruit System at: 
https://recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/apply/JPF00205

No paper applications please. Inquiries may be addressed to the Search 
Committee at search-linguistics at linguistics.ucsb.edu 
<mailto:search-linguistics at linguistics.ucsb.edu>. Interviews will be 
conducted either in person at the Linguistic Society of America annual 
meeting (January 2-5, 2014) or via Skype video conferencing; the two 
formats will be given equivalent consideration.

Our department has a genuine commitment to diversity and is especially 
interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and 
excellence of the academic community through research, teaching and 
service. UCSB is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action employer.
