*2 Linguist Positions, Australian National University*

We are seeking two outstanding early career Linguists with a strong 
fieldwork-based background, and a research program focusing on one or 
more understudied languages of the Asia-Pacific Region.

We are looking to fill one continuing (Level B/C) and one fixed term 
 (Level B) position.

With these appointments we wish to broaden and deepen our research in 
the region. We are particularly interested in applicants who will 
strengthen our collective expertise through work in one or more of the 
following areas: anthropological linguistics, sociolinguistics, 
multilingualism, historical linguistics, semantics, pragmatics, 
lexicography, language documentation, statistical and/or computational 
approaches to analysing cross-linguistic variation, typology, 
variationist approaches.

Applicants should have existing field experience in one or more sites of 
the Pacific/Asia region or relevant field experience elsewhere and 
concrete plans to develop a new field site in the Pacific/Asia region.

A substantial amount of time is available for ongoing research, and 
initial set-up funding for research is available. We are seeking 
outstanding early-career linguists ready to join a team with a long 
tradition of responding to the scientific, humanistic and social 
challenges posed by this region's extraordinary linguistic diversity.

In addition to research, these positions will apply for competitive 
research funding, undertake some teaching, supervise PhD students and 
contribute to administrative activities within the School and the 
Department. We have a particular commitment to fieldwork-based research 
on little-known languages across the region, especially in its hotspots 
of fragile linguistic diversity (such as Melanesia, South Asia, and 
Southeast Asia).

As part of our drive to rectify historical gender imbalances in our 
linguistics program, we are particularly keen to encourage 
highly-qualified female applicants.
