The Chair will be someone with a strong sense of collaborative leadership
and a clear commitment to continuing to develop the Department's standing
within the University, within Canada, and internationally on the cutting
edge of data-centred approaches to the study of human language and

will contribute to the development of graduate and undergraduate programmes
in the Department and will foster the activities of the in-house research
facilities—the Centre for Comparative Psycholinguistics, the Language
Documentation Research Cluster, Alberta Phonetics Lab, and the Language
Acquisition Lab; an active participation in one or more of these groups
would be expected.

university teaching and research, (including a strong track record of

successful candidate should have strong interpersonal communication skills
and a commitment to excellence in teaching and research, as well as a
scholarly track record suitable for appointment at a senior rank. Salary is
negotiable and will be commensurate with experience and rank.
