Who You Are and What You Will Do

The successful applicant will have one or more of the following
characteristics:

the level of phonology. This should be demonstrated by your research
publication history, and/or plans for future research and publications

academic and cultural backgrounds.

Who You Will Work With

The Linguistics Department is closely affiliated with the New Zealand
Institute of Language, Brain and Behaviour (NZILBB), a
multi-disciplinary centre dedicated to the study of human language.
Current research in the institute is focused around four themes:
 - Linguistic Diversity: exploring bilingualism and multilingualism in
Aotearoa, NZ, with a focus on linguistic equity.
 - Language Technology: using computational methods to address social,
cultural, and linguistic challenges.
 - Language Learning Across the Lifespan: focussed on the
understanding of how language is learned, and how this differs across
contexts and across different ages.
 - Language Variation and Change: understanding the mechanisms through
which language changes over time, how social factors lead to variation
in linguistic patterns, and how listeners understand and make use of
this variation in speech perception.

What We Offer

The University is committed to providing an excellent working
environment through:
 - Relocation support
 - A unique bequest funded endowment (Erskine fund) that supports an
extensive visiting Fellowship programme
 - Widely accessible sabbatical provision
