               STANFORD UNIVERSITY
                LINGUISTICS DEPARTMENT
                  JOB ANNOUNCEMENT

The Department of Linguistics at Stanford University
announces a full-time position for a tenure-track assistant
professor or beginning associate professor with a starting
date of September 1, 2003. Candidates must hold the Ph.D. in
linguistics or a related field by the starting date. The
department values research programs that link more than one
subfield of linguistics in the development of larger
theories of language and language use, and it emphasizes
rigorous theoretical work solidly based on empirical data
from, among other sources, corpora of spoken and written
usage, experimental findings, fieldwork, and computer
modeling. We are particularly interested in receiving
applications from candidates in the following areas:
phonetics/phonology, sociolinguistics/variation & change,
and computational linguistics/language processing.
Filling this position represents an initial step in our
long-range plans for the department.

To receive full consideration, hard-copy applications
should arrive by December 6th, 2002. (Please no
electronic applications.) Stanford University is an
equal opportunity employer and especially welcomes
applications from women and minority candidates. Please
include a CV, statements of research and teaching interests,
up to three research papers, and the names of three or
four references. All applicants should also have letters of
reference sent directly to the Search Committee.
