Description:

The Department of Linguistics at McGill University invites applications for
graduate admission for Fall 2019. 

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. We are excited to have recently added two new faculty members to
the experimental and computational side: Timothy J. O’Donnell (Computational
Models of Phonology, Morphology, and Syntax; Formal Models of Language
Learning and Processing; Mathematical Linguistics, Probabilistic Programming
Languages), and Francisco Torreira (Phonetics, Phonology, Psycholinguistics,
Prosody, Corpus Linguistics, Interactional Linguistics). These new hires add
to existing strengths in Syntax and Morphology (Jessica Coon, Lisa Travis),
Syntax and Semantics (Junko Shimoyama, Michael Wagner), 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), and Sociolinguistics (Charles Boberg).

(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. 

The application deadline for Fall 2019 admission is Sunday, December 9, 2018.
