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

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 a tenure-track
appointment at the rank of assistant professor.  Salary will be
commensurate with experience; the PhD is required by July 1, 2008, 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.

We invite applications from linguists specializing in the social or
demographic contexts of language.  Applicants could include specialists in
language variation, sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics,
dialectology, language contact, language use and pragmatics, creole
linguistics, or mixed languages (among other areas).  Applicants should
have a broad intellectual engagement with the field of linguistics, a
theoretically informed and empirically grounded research specialization,
and demonstrated excellence in teaching.  We are especially interested in
applicants whose research involves quantitative analysis, corpus work,
documentary linguistics, or other new methodologies.

Applications should include a curriculum vitae, representative work, and
evidence of excellence in teaching; three letters of recommendation should
also be sent.  (Please direct referees to
http://apo.chance.berkeley.edu/evalltr.html for the University's statement
on confidentiality.)  Preliminary interviews may be conducted, by
invitation, at the Linguistic Society of America annual meeting in Chicago,
IL, in January 2007.

Applications and all supporting materials, including letters of
recommendation, should be submitted on-line (in pdf format) to the
application website listed below and must be received by November 15, 2007;
late applications will not be considered.  Questions can be sent to the
