Description:

The Department of Linguistics, in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences 
at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, is accepting applications for a 
tenure-track position in semantics at the Assistant Professor level, expected 
to start August 23, 2012.

Minimum qualifications: a Ph.D. in Linguistics or a related field, completed 
by start date of employment; primary research focus on formal semantics 
within a generative framework; evidence or promise of a strong 
research/publication record; ability to teach graduate courses in formal 
semantics, and a range of courses in the Department's undergraduate 
curriculum; and research interests meshing well with those of the 
Department's current faculty members. Equivalent foreign degrees are 
acceptable. 

Preferred qualifications: the ability to teach graduate courses in a second 
area of linguistics; the ability to contribute through research, teaching, 
and/or public engagement to the diversity and excellence of the learning 
experience.

Appointment terms: The successful candidate's primary academic 
appointment will be in the Department of Linguistics at the Storrs campus 
with the possibility of work at UConn's regional campuses across the state. 
Salary will be commensurate with background, qualifications and 
experience. 

While an appointment at the Assistant Professor rank is preferred, qualified 
candidates whose research, teaching, or service will make an exceptional 
contribution to UConn's commitment to diversity and inclusion in higher 
education may be appointed at a higher rank.

To apply: Applicants should visit Husky Hire at http://www.jobs.uconn.edu 
to upload their application materials (search #: 2012235). Screening of 
applications will begin on December 16, 2011 and continue until the 
position is filled. 

The application package should include: a cover letter, a statement of 
research interests, CV, evidence of teaching ability and at least three 
samples of scholarly writing.  In addition, three letters of recommendation 
should be sent directly from the referees to Jon Gajewski at 
linguisticssearch at uconn.edu. Inquiries may also be sent to that email 
address.  

Preliminary interviews will be conducted at the 86th annual meeting of the 
Linguistic Society of America, January 5-8, 2012. Applicants should 
indicate in their cover letters whether they plan to attend.

The University of Connecticut is an EEO/AA employer.
