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

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 the University of Michigan invites
applications for a tenure-track assistant professor in sociolinguistics to

may be considered.  In keeping with the department's interdisciplinary
perspective, we especially encourage applications from candidates who are
committed to conducting innovative research that connects sociolinguistics
to other areas of the discipline.  The ideal candidate will complement and
build on existing strengths within the department, and will be eager to
interact with students and faculty from the broader linguistic community at
the University of Michigan. A Ph.D. by the beginning of the appointment is
required.

Please include a letter of application, curriculum vitae, research and
teaching statements, one or more representative publications, and evidence
of teaching excellence.  Please also arrange for three letters of
recommendation to be sent.  (Senior candidates should instead provide names
of references.)  

Review of applications will begin November 1, 2006, and will continue until
an appointment is made.
