Description:

Applications are invited for appointment as Professor/Associate
Professor in Linguistics in the School of Humanities (Linguistics)
(Ref.: 519940), to commence on September 1, 2023 or as soon as
possible thereafter, on tenure terms.

Applicants should have a Ph.D. in Linguistics, or a related field. The
ideal candidate will have an exemplary research record and a
transdisciplinary approach cutting across subfields, as well as
geographic and methodological boundaries. We seek to hire a senior
scholar whose research addresses one or several of the following key
themes of 21st century linguistics:
 - developing and analysing language interfaces between humans and
machines;
 - uncovering links between language, culture and social organisation;
 - examining the forces of language emergence, evolution, and
linguistic diversity;
 - exploring the cognitive, biological and neurological foundations of
language;
 - documenting and salvaging the languages of the world.
The appointee will be thoroughly familiar with the cutting-edge
laboratory, experimental, empirical, documentary, big data and
statistical, and typological-comparative methods relevant to their
area(s) of specialization.

The appointee is expected to develop a vigorous, independent research
programme, to excel in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, to
have substantial administrative experience and demonstrate a
willingness to take on leadership roles appropriate to their rank.
They should also have an established and expanding international
research profile in their field and demonstrate readiness to
collaborate across academic units. The teaching load will be three to
four courses per year, including introductory first-year courses.
Information about the Linguistics Programme can be obtained at
http://linguistics.hku.hk. Enquiries may be sent to Dr. Kofi Yakpo,
Chairperson, Linguistics Programme (see e-mail below).

A highly competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and
experience will be offered. Other benefits include annual leave and
professional leave, medical benefits, and free access to on-campus
gyms and libraries. Housing benefits will be provided as applicable.

The University only accepts online application for the above post.
Applicants should apply online at the University’s careers site
(https://jobs.hku.hk) and upload:
 - a cover letter;
 - a CV;
 - a list of published and accepted publications.
Shortlisted candidates will be asked to arrange for three letters of
reference to be sent in at a later stage of the search.  Review of
applications will commence on May 15, 2023 and continue until June 30,
2023 or until the post is filled.

The University is committed to diversity and inclusivity. The Faculty
of Arts expressly encourages qualified persons from all genders to
apply.
