Description:

The Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, Faculty of Arts and
Science at Queen’s University invites applications for a Tenure-track faculty
position at the rank of Assistant Professor in the area of Morphosyntax, with
specialization in Historical Morphosyntax and/or the Morphosyntax of an
Aboriginal Language, with a preferred starting date of July 1, 2015, subject
to budgetary approval.

Candidates should have a PhD in Theoretical Linguistics completed at the start
date of the appointment. Ideally, the candidate will also be able to teach
courses in Syntax and/or Semantics. The main criterion for selection is
academic and teaching excellence. The successful candidate will provide
evidence of high quality scholarly output that demonstrates potential for
independent research leading to peer assessed publications and the securing of
external research funding, as well as strong potential for outstanding
teaching contributions at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and an
ongoing commitment to academic and pedagogical excellence in support of the
department’s programs. Transnational expertise is particularly sought after.
Candidates must also provide evidence of an ability to work in an
interdisciplinary, collaborative environment. The successful candidate will
teach courses in Morphosyntax, Historical Linguistics and Morphology, as well
as Introduction to Linguistics (on a rotating basis). The successful candidate
will also be expected to make substantive contributions through service to the
department, to the Faculty, to the University, and/or the broader community.
Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience.

The University invites applications from all qualified individuals. Queen's is
committed to employment equity and diversity in the workplace and welcomes
applications from women, visible minorities, Aboriginal people, persons with
disabilities, and persons of any sexual orientation or gender identity. All
candidates are encouraged to apply; however, in accordance with Canadian
Immigration requirements, Canadian citizens and Permanent Residents of Canada
will be given priority.

To comply with Federal laws, the University is obliged to gather statistical
information about how many applicants for each job vacancy are Canadian
citizens / permanent residents of Canada.  Applicants need not identify their
country of origin or citizenship, however, all applications must include one
of the following statements: “I am a Canadian citizen / permanent resident of
Canada”; OR, “I am not a Canadian citizen / permanent resident of Canada”.
Applications that do not include this information will be deemed incomplete. A
complete application consists of: a cover letter (including one of the two
statements regarding Canadian citizenship / permanent resident status
specified in the previous paragraph); a current Curriculum Vitae (including a
list of publications); a writing sample; a statement of research interests; a
statement of teaching interests and experience (including teaching outlines
and evaluations if available); and three letters of reference.

Applicants are encouraged to send all documents in their application package
electronically (either as PDFs or MS Word files) to Laurie Young (email
address below), although hard copy applications may be submitted to Donato
Santeramo. The University will provide support in its recruitment processes to
applicants with disabilities, including accommodation that takes into account
an applicant’s accessibility needs.
