The University of Florida invites applications for a tenure-track appointment

- provide service to the department, the university, and the profession
- collaborate with faculty in other units on campus, such as the McKnight

The Department is committed to creating an environment that affirms diversity
across a variety of dimensions, including ability, class, ethnicity/race,
gender identity and expression. We particularly welcome applicants who can
contribute to such an environment through their scholarship, teaching,
mentoring, and professional service. 

Salary is competitive, commensurate with qualifications and experience and
includes a full benefits package.

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 B.A.,
M.A. and Ph.D. 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 specializations
in language documentation, African linguistics, sociolinguistics,
psycholinguistics, and the core areas. UF Linguistics will be hosting the
Institute on Collaborative Language Research (CoLang) in Summer 2018.

The Evelyn F. & William L. McKnight Brain Institute is one of the world's
largest research institutions devoted to the brain. It houses several
research-dedicated MRI scanners, among which two 3T scanners for research with
human participants. The Institute’s research and educational programs
incorporate over 300 faculty members from 51 academic departments and 10

After initial review, letters of recommendation will be requested for selected
applicants. Review of applications will begin on November 15, 2017 and will
continue until the position is filled.

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
