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

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.

The Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia invites

Successful candidates will teach, conduct research, and participate
actively in the intellectual life of the department.  In addition to its
strengths in semantics, syntax, morphology, phonetics, phonology, first
language acquisition and field linguistics, the UBC Department of
Linguistics has a commitment to the theoretically informed study and
documentation of First Nations Languages.

Applicants should have a primary specialization in some area of theoretical
linguistics. In addition, expertise in field linguistics and/or another
subdiscipline of linguistics would be desirable, especially in morphology,
first language acquisition and/or in one or more languages of North
America. Applicants should be prepared to teach at the undergraduate level,
including at least one introductory course in linguistic theory (syntax or
phonology); other courses may include acquisition of phonology, acquisition
of syntax, morphology, or introduction to linguistics.

The Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow will teach 3 three-credit courses during
the academic year (September to April inclusive). The appointment runs for
12 months, starting at a date to be negotiated between July 1 and September
1, 2009. Applicants should have a Ph.D in linguistics by the start date of
the appointment, and must have completed the Ph.D within the past 3 years.
The salary range is $50,000 - $ 55,000 (Canadian).

Send a hard copy of the following materials to the address below : (i)
application letter, including a statement outlining courses the applicant
is prepared to teach; (ii) curriculum vitae; (iii) teaching evaluations (if
available); (iv) a sample of published or unpublished work. Also arrange
for three letters of recommendation to be sent to the same address, and
send electronic versions of the application letter and curriculum vitae to
edharmar at interchange.ubc.ca

Any applicant whose materials are received by June 1, 2009 is guaranteed
consideration. The appointment is subject to final budgetary approval.  UBC
hires on the basis of merit and is committed to employment equity; we
encourage all qualified persons to apply. Since these are postdoctoral
awards, the positions are open equally to citizens of any country.
