University or Organization: United Arab Emirates University 
Department: Linguistics
Job Location: Al Ain, United Arab Emirates 
Web Address: http://www.fhss.uaeu.ac.ae/linguistics/study_opportunities.shtml
Job Rank: Associate Professor  

Specialty Areas: Phonetics; Phonology 

Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the United Arab Emirates University seeks 
to fill a position in phonology/phonetics  at Associate or Full Professor Rank. 

The ideal candidate will have an earned PhD in linguistics and demonstrate a 
record of excellence in university-level teaching and research in phonology or 
phonetics-phonology interface. Applicants with interest in experimental (e.g. 
speech analysis/synthesis, computational, developmental, neurolinguistic or 
clinical) approaches to phonology, and those with fieldwork experience, are 
particularly encouraged to apply. Expertise in Arabic phonology is desirable 
but not required.

The Department of Linguistics offers undergraduate and PhD level programs 
in theoretical and applied linguistics. Successful applicants are expected to 
teach undergraduate courses in any area of linguistics. Faculty members are 
expected to teach at all levels in the program, to share in general education 
teaching, and to participate, as appropriate, in graduate teaching and 
supervision.

Faculty members in the Department of Linguistics are involved in a broad 
range of research projects in theoretical and applied linguistics. The 
Department maintains and continues to develop state-of-the-art research 
facilities housing psycholinguistic behavioral testing suites, an EEG system, 
and a phonetics laboratory. In the coming year we will expand our capabilities 
to fMRI and MEG imaging techniques for neurolinguistic research.

The initial appointment will be for a four-year period (renewable) with the first 
two years probationary. The standard teaching load is 12 hours per semester, 
modified in varying degrees by course remissions arising from funded 
research and consultative activities and administrative roles. All faculty 
members are expected to have an ongoing research agenda and to be 
engaged in the publication of works that have been subject to external peer 
review and appear in internationally recognized and cited journals or other 
volumes.

This appointment will commence in September 2012 or as soon as possible 
thereafter.

The UAEU offers a competitive tax-free salary commensurate with 
qualifications and level of appointment. Benefits provided by the university 
include housing, a furniture allowance, employer-paid comprehensive health 
insurance, an education allowance for children, annual airline tickets for the 
employee and family members, and an end-of-service gratuity based on 
years of service. 

Interested applicants should initially submit a CV with names and email 
addresses of three referees along with a letter of interest describing their 
teaching and research to Dr. Ali Idrissi at: ali.idrissi at uaeu.ac.ae
