The Faculty of Humanities/Department of Linguistics invites applications
for the position of full professor (German W3-level) in

	Linguistics, with specialization in Semantics.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. and a “Habilitation" (or equivalent
qualifications). Strong background in general linguistics required, with
demonstrated excellence in semantics (including pragmatics). Language
specialization open.

Successful candidates will contribute to the teaching in BA, MA, state
exam, and doctoral courses offered by the department.  They are expected to
get actively involved in current and subsequent collaborative research
programmes of the department (currently SFB 471, Variation and Development
in the Lexicon).

This is a tenured position, but according to current legislation initial
appointments are for three years and will only then become permanent.  On
special conditions (such as already holding a tenured position) the initial
3-year limitation can be waived.

The Universität Konstanz is an equal opportunity employer and encourages
applications from women. Handicapped persons with appropriate
qualifications will be preferentially considered. Applications, including
the usual documents (CV, copies of academic diplomas, list of publications,
previous teaching experience, and a brief outline of research and teaching
planned) should be sent to
