[John Dubois]

The Linguistics Department of the University of California, Santa Barbara seeks
to hire a specialist in computational and/or corpus linguistic approaches to
language. The appointment will be tenure-track at the Assistant Professor
level, effective July 1, 2005.

We are especially interested in candidates whose research shows theoretical
implications bridging computational and/or corpus linguistics and general
linguistics, and who can interact with colleagues and students across
disciplinary boundaries at UCSB. Candidates will be preferred whose research
engages with the departmental focus on functional and usage-based approaches to
explaining language.

Research experience with corpora of naturally occurring language use is
required. Candidates must have demonstrated excellence in teaching, and will be
expected to teach a range of graduate and undergraduate courses in both
computational/corpus linguistics and general linguistics.

Ph.D. in linguistics or a related field such as cognitive science or computer
science is required. Ph.D. normally required by the time of appointment.
Applicants should submit hard copy of curriculum vitae, statement of research
interests, 1-2 writing samples, and full contact information for three academic
references to the Search Committee, Linguistics Department, UCSB, Santa Barbara,
CA 93106-3100. Fax and email applications not accepted.

Inquiries may be addressed to the above address or via email to
lingsearch at linguistics.ucsb.edu. Tentative deadline is November 12, 2004.
However, the position will remain open until filled. Preliminary interviews
will be conducted at the Linguistic Society of America, although attendance is
not required for consideration. The department 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.
