The Institute of Anthropology, Archaeology and Linguistics of Aarhus University seeks an Assistant Professor of Linguistics (in Danish Adjunkt) to begin on 1 August 2011. The appointment is for three years; thereafter it is possible to apply for a tenured associate professorship in open competition.
The candidate should have a PhD or its equivalent in linguistics as well as teaching experience and the expertise and experience to develop research projects at university level within the area of specialisation.
The department is particularly interested in candidates with an expertise in neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics and/or some closely related discipline, who are also prepared to teach in at least two of the following areas: phonetics&phonology, morphosyntax, sociolinguistics, language acquisition. 
Expertise in at least one (other) area of applied linguistics, empirical methods and/or statistics would be advantageous. The selected candidate will be expected to support and contribute to teaching, research, and innovative curriculum development in graduate and undergraduate programs (see [ http://aal.au.dk/en/linguist/unit/ ]http://aal.au.dk/en/linguist/unit/).

Candidates without knowledge of Danish would be expected, if appointed, to acquire within two years a sufficient level of proficiency in this language to be able to participate in all the activities of the Institute.

It is expected that the person appointed will be present at the Institute on a normal daily basis. All are invited to apply regardless of age, gender, race, religion, and ethnicity.
