Description:

The Department of Linguistics at McGill University invites applications for
graduate admission for Fall 2017. 

We offer a competitive funding package for five years for PhD students and one
year and eight months for MA students. The PhD program allows for applications
straight from a B.A., or after an M.A. Applicants are admitted to the program,
rather than to work with a specific supervisor. This gives students
considerable flexibility in developing their own research agenda. The program
offers a tight curriculum of core courses in the first year, and a lighter
load with more in-depth courses in the second year. PhD students write and
defend two evaluation papers before embarking on their dissertation research,
as is common in other North American PhD programs. 

Our PhD program focuses on theoretical and experimental approaches to
linguistics. This year, we are very excited to have added two new faculty
members to the experimental and computational side: Francisco Torreira
(Phonetics, Phonology, Psycholinguistics, Prosody, Corpus Linguistics,
Interactional Linguistics) and Timothy J. O'Donnell (starting January 2017;
Computational Models of Language Learning and Processing, Mathematical
Linguistics, Probabilistic Inference).

These new hires add to existing strengths in Syntax and Morphology (Jessica
Coon, Lisa Travis), Syntax and Semantics (Junko Shimoyama, Michael Wagner),
Formal Semantics and Pragmatics (Luis Alonso-Ovalle, Brendan Gillon and
Bernhard Schwarz), Phonology (Heather Goad, Morgan Sonderegger, Michael
Wagner), Phonetics and Psycholinguistics (Charles Boberg, Meghan Clayards),
Language Acquisition (Heather Goad, Lydia White), and Sociolinguistics
(Charles Boberg).

Our program has a strong focus on methods (Field Methods, Formal Methods,
Experimental Methods), and offers courses in a diverse range of experimental
research areas: Meghan Clayards (Phonetics and Psycholinguistics), Morgan
Sonderegger (Computational Phonology and Phonetics), Michael Wagner (Prosody
and Language Processing), Charles Boberg (Sociolinguistics and Dialectology),
Heather Goad (L1 and L2 Acquisition of Phonology), and Lydia White (L2
Acquisition of Syntax). We have excellent experimental facilities (sound
attenuated booths, eye-trackers, etc.). We are affiliated with the Centre for
Research on Brain, Language, and Music (http://crblm.ca) which has many
additional resources, and have close ties to the School of Communication
Sciences and Disorders and the Department of Psychology at McGill. We also
continue our long tradition in teaching field methods and conducting
fieldwork, today with Jessica Coon's Fieldwork Lab at the center.

Visit our webpage for more information about our research
(https://www.mcgill.ca/linguistics/research) and the graduate programs
(https://www.mcgill.ca/linguistics/graduate). Our website also provides
information on living in Montréal, where McGill University is located, a
cosmopolitan, bilingual, and affordable city. Instruction at McGill is in
English.
