Date: 08-Oct-2024
From: Janelle Stutheit [lingasst at sfu.ca]
Subject: Computational Linguistics: Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Computational Linguistics, Simon Fraser University


University or Organization: Simon Fraser University
Department: Department of Linguistics
Job Location: British Columbia, Canada
Web Address: https://www.sfu.ca/linguistics.html
Job Title: Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in Computational
Linguistics
Job Rank: Asst/Assoc Professor

Specialty Areas: Computational Linguistics

Description:

Qualifications: PhD in linguistics, computer science, computational
linguistics, natural language processing, or closely related field is
required. PhD candidates with solid indication of imminent completion
may be hired at the rank of Instructor and will be promoted to the
rank of Assistant Professor upon completion of the PhD. The successful
candidate must be a specialist in computational linguistics, broadly
understood.

We welcome applications from candidates who can contribute to the
existing research strengths in the Department as well as complement
those strengths in new ways. They must have demonstrated excellence in
research through a proven record of publications, conference
presentations, and/or other forms of knowledge dissemination,
appropriate to their career stage. The successful candidate must also
have ability to teach courses in general linguistics and computational
linguistics (social data analytics, computational social science, or
natural language processing), at the undergraduate and/or graduate
levels. This can be demonstrated through a teaching portfolio,
including a statement of teaching philosophy, syllabi of courses
taught, or courses proposed.

Duties include maintaining an active program of research; teaching
courses at the undergraduate and graduate level; supervision of
graduate students; participation in the collegial governance and
intellectual life of the Linguistics Department, the SDA Program, and
the university; and service to the academic community. The candidate
is expected to teach at least one course per year in the SDA Program.

Preference will be given to complete applications received by November
30, 2024, but we will continue to accept applications beyond that date
until the position is filled.

SFU recognizes that alternative career paths and/or career
interruptions (e.g. parental leave, leave due to illness, research
delays due to COVID-19) can impact research achievements and commits
to ensuring that leaves are taken into careful consideration.
Candidates are encouraged to highlight in their application how
alternative paths and/or interruptions have impacted them.

Simon Fraser University is an institution whose strength is based on
our shared commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Diversity
is an underlying principle of our Strategic Vision, which pledges SFU
to “foster a culture of inclusion and mutual respect, celebrating the
diversity reflected among its students, faculty, staff, and our
community.” SFU is committed to ensuring that no individual is denied
access to employment opportunities for reasons unrelated to ability or
qualifications. Consistent with this principle, SFU will advance the
interests of underrepresented members of the work force, including
Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, racialized persons, and
women; embrace gender and sexual diversity; ensure that equal
opportunity is afforded to all who seek employment at the University;
and treat all employees equitably. Candidates that belong to
underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.

The application must include the following:
- Cover letter summarizing the applicant’s experience, qualifications,
and interest in the position
- Current CV
- Research statement
- Teaching portfolio

Candidates selected for interviews will be asked to arrange for 3
letters of reference to be sent to the Department. Applications should
be submitted electronically to lingasst at sfu.ca in PDF format only as a
single file.

Faculty salaries at SFU are based on the salary scales bargained
between the University and the SFU Faculty Association. A reasonable
estimate of the salary range for this role is $104,700 to $153,322.
Candidates for the Assistant Professor position must have a PhD;
however, PhD candidates with a solid indication of imminent completion
may be hired at the rank of Instructor and will be promoted to the
rank of Assistant Professor upon completion of the PhD.
