Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Alberta invites 
applications for a tenure-track position in Psycholinguistics at an 
open rank. The successful candidate must hold a PhD in Linguistics 
or related field, demonstrate outstanding potential for a teaching and 
research career, show a commitment to innovation in methodology 
and analysis, and be willing to play a leadership role in an 
established research laboratory environment, the Centre for 
Comparative Psycholinguistics (http://ccp.artsrn.ualberta.ca), 
which is a hub of national and international collaboration. A strong 
research record in any area of psycholinguistics will be considered. 
Experience working with eye-tracking and ERP laboratory equipment 
is an asset.

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Alberta offers 
degree programs at the undergraduate and graduate level and has 
established itself as a major centre, both nationally and 
internationally, for graduate education and research in empirical and 
experimental approaches to human language. Our faculty and 
graduate students, often in collaboration with scholars from other 
departments and other universities, are actively involved in a wide 
range of data-driven linguistic research with a strong focus on the 
study of language through observation, fieldwork, and 
experimentation. The Department consists of eleven full-time, 
continuing faculty members pursuing research projects in 
experimental phonetics, phonology, morphosyntax and semantics of 
Amerindian languages, cognitive linguistics, corpus linguistics, 
language documentation and revitalization, bilingual 1st and 2nd 
language acquisition and language impairment, psycholinguistics, 
computational/historical linguistics, and sociolinguistics. There are 
usually 35-40 students in our graduate programs at any given time, 
of which roughly one quarter are pursuing the MSc while the majority 
are working towards the PhD.

Established in 1908 as a board-governed, public institution, the 
University of Alberta has earned the reputation of being one of the 
best universities in Canada based on our strengths in teaching, 
research, and service. The University of Alberta serves over 37,000 
students in more than 200 undergraduate programs and 170 
graduate programs (http://www.ualberta.ca). The Faculty of Arts is the 
oldest and most diverse faculty on campus, and one of the largest 
research and teaching centres in Western Canada 
(http://www.arts.ualberta.ca). Courses in Linguistics have been 
offered regularly at the University of Alberta since 1969, making our 
program one of the oldest in Western Canada. The University's main 
campus is located in Edmonton, the vibrant, cosmopolitan capital of 
the province of Alberta. Edmonton is located only a few hours drive 
from Banff and Jasper National Parks, which offer skiing in winter 
and excellent hiking and sightseeing in summer.

Applicants must arrange for three confidential letters of reference to 
be sent, either by email or directly to the Chair, at the address below. 
The closing deadline is 15 June 2012 and the effective date of 
employment will be 1 September 2012. Salary is negotiable and will 
be commensurate with qualifications and experience. Applicants
