Boston University is an AAU institution with a rich tradition of inclusion and
social justice. We are  proud that we were the first American university to
award a PhD to a woman (1877) and that Martin  Luther King Jr. received his
PhD here (1955). The Linguistics Program is committed to the College  of Arts
& Sciences Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan
(https://www.bu.edu/cas/about/diversity-inclusion/)  for building a diverse,
inclusive, and accessible environment for all. Applications from  women,
minorities, and members of other underrepresented groups are strongly 
encouraged. Recognizing that diversity of experience deepens the intellectual
endeavor, we are  dedicated to increasing the participation of all talented
students, including those from  underrepresented groups, in the study of
language, and we are particularly interested in scholars who  can contribute
to the diversity and inclusiveness of the academic community, at BU and
beyond,  through their research, teaching, and service.  

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive
