Description:

The Department of Linguistics at Memorial University, in partnership with the

data. The successful candidate will hold a Ph.D. in Linguistics and have an

in research and development. The Tier 2 Chairship is for 5 years, renewable

Professor or Associate Professor. The position is expected to commence July
