Description:

Assistant Professor in Linguistics
Rice University

The Department of Linguistics, Rice University, is seeking to fill a
tenure-track position in linguistics at the level of assistant
professor beginning fall, 2004. The Ph.D. is required.

The Department of Linguistics at Rice has a strongly functionalist,
usage-based orientation emphasizing language description. The
Department adopts an integrative approach that is sensitive to
language in many dimensions: discourse, social, typological,
cognitive, historical and developmental.

We expect the successful candidate to share the orientation of the
Department and to have an outstanding record in research and
demonstrated excellence in teaching undergraduate and graduate
courses. Fieldwork on a non-Indo-European language is highly
desirable.

Rice University is a private, selective institution with undergraduate
and graduate strengths in science, engineering, the social sciences
and the humanities. Rice places strong emphasis on research and
excellence in classroom teaching. The normal course load is six hours
(two courses) per semester.

Interviews will be held in January, 2004 at the LSA meeting in Boston,
MA. For full consideration, applications including cover letter, CV,
three names of references, and one representative article must be
received by November 15, 2003.
