Description:

The University of Florida invites applications for a nine-month,

academic year. The position is renewable for up to two additional years
subject to availability of funds and satisfactory performance. Primary duties
for the position will be graduate and undergraduate instruction, with an
anticipated 3/3 teaching assignment. Courses will include Introduction to
Linguistics, graduate and undergraduate courses in syntax, morphology, and/or
language documentation, and electives in the applicant’s area of
specialization. A PhD at the time of appointment is required and previous
teaching experience is highly desirable. Participation in departmental
activities, research, and student advising is encouraged. Salary is
competitive, commensurate with qualifications and experience and includes a
full benefits package (http://hr.ufl.edu/benefits/).

The Linguistics Department at the University of Florida is a vibrant and
congenial unit consisting of 9 full-time faculty and 11 affiliated faculty in
the departments of Anthropology; Languages, Literatures, and Cultures; Spanish
and Portuguese; and Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences. We offer a BA, MA
and PhD in Linguistics, as well as an undergraduate minor in TESOL and a
graduate certificate in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching. We have
faculty expertise in a wide range of linguistic subfields with current
specializations in language documentation, African linguistics,
sociolinguistics, neuro/psycholinguistics, and the core areas. UF Linguistics
will be hosting the Institute on Collaborative Language Research (CoLang) in
Summer 2018. Please see our website, lin.ufl.edu, for more information about
the department.

Applications must be submitted on-line at
http://explore.jobs.ufl.edu/cw/en-us/listing/ and must include: (1) a brief
cover letter, (2) a statement of teaching and research interests, (3)
representative teaching evaluations if available, (4) a CV, (5) one sample
publication, and (6) the names and email addresses for three references. An
email will be sent automatically to your references, requesting them to upload
their letter. Review of applications will begin on December 1, 2016 and will
continue until the position is filled.

We will be conducting interviews at the LSA Annual Meeting in Austin, Texas,
January 5-8, 2017. Applicants should indicate in their cover letter if they
will be available for this opportunity.

The final candidate will be required to provide an official transcript to the
department upon hire. A transcript will not be considered "official" if a
designation of "Issued to Student" is visible. Degrees earned from an
educational institution outside of the United States require evaluation by a
professional credentialing service provider approved by the National
Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES), which can be found at
http://www.naces.org/.
