Northwestern University tenure-line position in syntax

[Brady Zack Clark]

The Department of Linguistics at Northwestern University invites
applications for a tenure-line position starting September 1, 2007.

We are looking for candidates with primary research and teaching
interests in syntax and its interface with other areas of
linguistics. Candidates with demonstrated research and teaching
strengths in computational linguistics and/or psycholinguistics are
especially encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate will have analyzed
primary data (e.g., experimental data, field data, or natural language
corpora) in order to address theoretical issues. Preference will be
given to individuals whose research interests mesh with those of the
present faculty and who will contribute to the department's active
role in interdisciplinary research and teaching initiatives. Although
we expect to hire at the rank of assistant professor, more senior
candidates may also be considered. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in
linguistics or a related field by the start date.

To receive full consideration, applications should arrive in the
department by December 1, 2006. Please send a CV (indicating an e-mail
address), statements of research and teaching interests, reprints or
other written work, teaching evaluations (if available), and the names
of three references. Candidates should arrange to have the letters of
recommendation sent directly to the search committee.

AA/EOE. Applications from minority and women candidates are especially
welcome.
