The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html. This page has been set
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Description:

Applications are invited for the following post: Assistant Professors in
Linguistics [Ref. C/587/09]

Building on its existing strengths in applications of linguistics and language
technology, the Department of Chinese, Translation and Linguistics is developing
new teaching and research initiatives related to intelligent applications of
language studies, where meaning and its theoretical and computational modeling
is crucial.   Teaching in this area will emphasize the study of language in
context, and the description of language in ways which address language-related
issues arising in all aspects of community life, including professional and
workplace, administrative, legal, educational and clinical.  In terms of
research, our goal is to develop computational tools, corpora and other general
resources as part of the ongoing expansion of our metalanguage for modelling
meaning.  A suite of projects is being undertaken in collaboration with
international partners in the areas of comparative language studies (including
Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean), computational linguistics, and
corpus-based language studies.

Duties: Undertake teaching and research in one or more of the following areas:
(1) comparative language studies, (2) linguistic computing and language
technology, (3) corpus-based language studies.  Teaching and supervision at both
undergraduate and postgraduate levels, including BA, MA, MPhil and PhD required.

Requirements: A PhD in linguistics, preferably with expertise in functional
approaches to grammar and discourse.  Experience in the comparative analysis of
at least two languages (preferably Chinese, and either English, Japanese or
Korean) required.  Applicants with a proven record of publications or strong
research potential preferred.

Salary and Conditions of Service: Salary offered will be highly competitive and
commensurate with qualifications and experience.  Appointment will be on a
fixed-term gratuity-bearing contract.  Fringe benefits include annual leave, medical
and dental schemes.  Provision of housing benefit is under review.

Hong Kong, 83 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon, Hong Kong.  Please send your application
