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

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:

The Department of Linguistics at Northwestern University invites applications for a tenure-line 
position starting September 1, 2007.

We are looking for candidates with primary research and teaching interests in syntax and its 
interface with other areas of linguistics. Candidates with demonstrated research and teaching 
strengths in computational linguistics and/or psycholinguistics are especially encouraged to apply. 
The ideal candidate will have analyzed primary data (e.g., experimental data, field data, or natural 
language corpora) in order to address theoretical issues. Preference will be given to individuals 
whose research interests mesh with those of the present faculty and who will contribute to the 
department's active role in interdisciplinary research and teaching initiatives. Although we expect 
to hire at the rank of assistant professor, more senior candidates may also be considered. 
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in linguistics or a related field by the start date.

To receive full consideration, applications should arrive in the department by December 1, 2006. 
Please send a CV (indicating an e-mail address), statements of research and teaching interests, 
reprints or other written work, teaching evaluations (if available), and the names of three 
references. Candidates should arrange to have the letters of recommendation sent directly to the 
search committee.

AA/EOE. Applications from minority and women candidates are especially welcome.
