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:

The Department of English Language and Literature at NUS invites
applications for the post of Assistant Professor (tenure track). Target
areas include (i) Sociolinguistics and/or (ii) Linguistic Theory with
specialization in Syntax and Semantics.

Applicants should have a PhD in Linguistics, a sound record of
international publications in their field(s), and a commitment to
teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. As the post is
in the Department of English Language, they will be expected to teach
foundational modules in sociolinguistics and linguistic theory
drawing on data primarily from English. The ideal candidate in the
area of sociolinguistics should be able to teach language policy,
socio-cultural approaches to language, as well the more traditional
'variationist' paradigm at the undergraduate level. The ideal
candidate in the area of linguistic theory should be able to teach
not only syntax and semantics but also phonology and morphology at
the undergraduate level. All candidates should have the potential to
develop an international standing in their chosen fields.

NUS expects the highest standards of teaching and scholarship from
its faculty.  In return, it offers excellent terms and conditions.
There is considerable support for research, including grants for
research projects, conference money and a very well funded library.
Salary will be commensurate with experience and level of appointment.
