eleven full-time, continuing faculty members and currently is home to 40

approaches to linguistic research and its members conduct investigations in
phonetics, the morphosyntax and semantics of Amerindian languages, child

The Chair will be someone with a strong sense of collaborative leadership
and a clear commitment to continuing to develop the Department’s standing

edge of data-centered approaches to the study of human language and
linguistic development. The Chair will support a culture of grantsmanship
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.****

and must hold the PhD, together with a distinguished record in university
teaching and research (including a strong track record of appropriate grant
activity) in areas of interest to the Department. The 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.****
