DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICS & DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS

POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT

The Departments of Linguistics and Statistics at University of
California, Davis jointly invite applications for a tenure-track
Assistant Professor position starting in Fall 2025. A successful
candidate is expected to be active in both departments. We are
particularly interested in scholars working on the intersection of
linguistics and theoretical foundations of large language models,
including topics related to generalization, compositionality,
interpretability, reliability, and cognitive modeling.

Desired qualifications include the ability to teach pertinent classes
in both linguistics and statistics. Mentoring of undergraduate
students, supervision of graduate students, involvement in curricular
development, and performance of university service are expected. A
Ph.D. in Linguistics, Statistics, Computer Science, Cognitive Science,
or a closely related field must be completed by the beginning of
instruction.

Applicants should submit: curriculum vitae, a cover letter that
clearly states reasons for the candidate’s interest in the position,
qualifications, and a summary of academic trajectory; statements of
research and teaching interests, official graduate transcripts, one
writing sample (publication, submitted manuscript, or dissertation
chapter), and three letters of recommendation through the online
application system found at: https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06756.
This recruitment is conducted at the Assistant rank. The resulting
hire will be at the Assistant rank, regardless of the proposed
appointee’s qualifications. Appointment level and salary are
commensurate with experience.  A reasonable estimate for this position
is $105,600 to $150,900. The position will remain open until filled.
Applications received by November 15, 2024 will receive full initial
consideration.

The University of California, Davis, is an affirmative action/equal
opportunity employer with a strong institutional commitment to the
achievement of diversity among its faculty and staff.
