Position Announcement
 
The Department of Linguistics at the University of Connecticut
anticipates a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in
Semantics to begin in the fall semester of 1997 (salary negotiable).
Ph.D. is required by the time duties begin.  We are interested in
candidates with specialization in formal semantics and the syntax/
semantics interface within Generative Grammar.  Applicants whose
research interests interact well with those of the current faculty
are especially sought.  Applicants should be prepared to teach in
the area of their specialization at the graduate level, as well as
more general linguistics courses at the undergraduate level,
including "Language and Mind" and "Principles of Linguistics."
An applicant's  ability to teach in more than one area will weigh
in our decision.
 
Applicants should send a complete dossier (letter of application,
curriculum vitae, samples of work in progress or published,
description of courses prepared to teach, and teaching evaluations
if available) and at least three letters of recommendation to:
