================================================================  

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/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Description:

Pending budgetary approval, the Department of Linguistics at the University
of California, Berkeley has been authorized to make up to two full-time
tenure-track appointments, at the assistant professor level, in the area of
language and cognition.  One of these will be a joint appointment with the
undergraduate program in Cognitive Science.  Salary will be commensurate
with experience; the Ph.D. (in Linguistics or an allied field) is required
by July 1, 2007, the starting date of the appointment.  Duties will include
undergraduate and graduate teaching (four courses per year) and advising,
supervision of student research, and development of a successful and
original research program.

Successful candidates will have a broad intellectual engagement with the
fields of Linguistics and Cognitive Science.  Scholars with interests in
the sociocultural aspects of cognition and language, including (but not
limited to) pragmatics, language use, or language learning, are especially
encouraged to apply.

The tenure home and graduate teaching for both positions will be in the
Department of Linguistics.  One position will entail two undergraduate
courses per year in Cognitive Science, including courses cross-listed in
Linguistics.

Applications should include a curriculum vitae, copies of representative
work, and evidence of excellence in teaching.  Applicants should arrange
for three letters of recommendation to be sent.  (Please direct referees to

on confidentiality.)  Preliminary interviews may be conducted, by
invitation, at the Linguistic Society of America meeting in Anaheim, CA, in
January, 2007.

The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Employer.
