Description:

The Department of Linguistics at Rice University located in Houston, Texas, is
now accepting applications for a lecturer position to begin July 1, 2017. The
candidate should have research expertise related to sociophonetics, speech
perception, and/or laboratory phonology. Experience recording and analyzing
language-in-use in local speech communities (either underdocumented/endangered
languages, or minority varieties of English) is desirable. This is a two-year
appointment with possibility of renewal with a competitive salary. The
successful applicant will be asked to teach two undergraduate courses per
semester in the areas of Introduction to Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, and
Phonetics/Phonology. S/he will also be expected to participate in departmental
activities, and, together with other Linguistics faculty members, lead
hands-on workshops for undergraduate students on recording, documenting, and
analyzing language in urban communities.

We especially welcome applications from researchers who share the department’s
interest in approaching language from a usage-based perspective with solid
empirical grounding in primary data, especially approaches of a cognitive,
social-interactional, and/or functional nature (see also our department
website at http://ling.rice.edu/).

Application materials include: cover letter, CV, teaching statement, sample of
written work, and names and contact information for three references.  Past
teaching evaluations and/or information about course topics the applicant
could teach are also welcome but not required at this time. The deadline for
receipt of applications is April 25th 2017.  PhD is required by time of
appointment. 

Please upload your application materials to the application URL below.
Materials that are not uploaded through that website will not be considered.
