September 15, 1996.  This fixed term, non-tenure-related appointment runs
for the academic year 1996-97.  Salary is in the mid to upper thirties with

The Linguistics Department of Oregon enjoys a long tradition of work within
the functionalist tradition, concentrating in descriptive work and field
work and in empirical work on language use, discourse, and language
acquisition.  We invite applications from qualified individuals in any
research specialization who can fit well within the Department's general
functional-typological orientation.  Since the opening fills a teaching gap
for faculty on leave, the candidate must show evidence of considerable
teaching skill, especially at the undergraduate level.

Qualifications

Duties
*  Teach full time in undergraduate and graduate linguistics
*  Engage in research in linguistics
*  Participate in Department life as an active member
