The Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Santa
Barbara seeks to hire a specialist in syntactic typology. The appointment
will be a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level, effective
July 1, 2023. The successful candidate will have an active research program
in typologically-informed syntax and will have a record of participation

distinctive usage-based theoretical orientation of the department is
expected. Expertise in other levels of linguistic structure above the level
of sound, including morphology, discourse, and/or semantics is also
desirable. Additional desiderata include the following: a geographic
specialization that expands the department’s areal strengths, expertise in
language documentation and/or community-centered language
revitalization and reclamation,
familiarity with quantitative approaches to typology, and/or the ability to
connect empirical research on grammatical structure to the understanding of
language change. We also encourage applicants who have the potential to
interact with colleagues and students across disciplinary boundaries at
UCSB, such as areal studies, language departments, and/or computer science.



A demonstrated commitment to undergraduate and graduate education and a
record of successful teaching experience in linguistics or a closely
related field is required. The successful candidate will be expected to
teach a range of graduate and undergraduate courses in syntax, typology,
and potentially other topics. For more information about the department see

The Department of Linguistics has a genuine commitment to diversity and is
especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and
excellence of the academic community through research, teaching, professional
activities, and service.
