Description:

Established in 1908 as a board-governed, public institution, the University of
Alberta has earned the reputation of being one of the best universities in
Canada based on our strengths in teaching, research, and service. The
University of Alberta is home to 39,000 students and offers close to 400
rigorous undergraduate, graduate and professional programs in 18 faculties on
five campuses - including one rural and one francophone campus
(http://www.ualberta.ca).

The Faculty of Arts is the oldest and most diverse faculty on campus, and one
of the largest research and teaching centres in Western Canada
(http://www/arts.ualberta.ca).

University of Alberta invites applications for an Instructor in Quantitative

semester-long courses (3/3) including introductory and advanced statistics and
four courses in linguistics, subject to individual interests and departmental

Courses in Linguistics have been offered regularly at the University of
Alberta since 1969, making our program one of the oldest in Western Canada.
The Department of Linguistics at the University of Alberta offers degree
programs at the undergraduate and graduate level and has established itself as
a major centre, both nationally and internationally, for graduate education
and research in the empirical study of human language. Our faculty and
graduate students are actively involved in a wide range of data-driven
linguistic research with a strong focus on the empirical study of language
through observation, fieldwork, and experimentation. We are also home to
several major research grants in the areas of language acquisition,
psycholinguistics, phonetics, phonology, field linguistics, corpus
linguistics, and language documentation.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. (preferable) or be ABD (dissertation submitted by
