Job Title: Assistant Professor --- The Linguistics of South Asian
Languages
Job Rank: Assistant Professor

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics

Description:

The Department of Linguistics at The University of Texas at Austin
invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor to begin
Fall of academic year 2025-26. We seek a candidate whose work focuses
on the languages of South Asia, in any area of linguistics, including
but not limited to syntax, semantics, phonetics, phonology, language
documentation, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, or
computational linguistics. A research specialization in modern South
Asian languages from any of the above perspectives would be especially
welcome. Duties will include undergraduate and graduate teaching,
research, and service. We seek candidates who can teach linguistics
courses at all levels (lower- and upper-division undergraduate, and
graduate), and who can train the next generation of researchers in the
study of South Asian languages. The faculty member will also serve as
affiliated faculty with UT’s South Asia Institute (SAI), a Title VI
funded National Resource Center for South Asia, and will be expected
to interact with SAI faculty and students, engage with SAI activities,
and to offer courses that contribute to SAI’s goals.

Qualifications

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in linguistics or a related field by the
time of appointment and have demonstrated a strong teaching and
research trajectory. Proficiency in one or more modern South Asian
language(s) is preferred but not required.

Application Instructions

Applicants must upload a letter of application, a CV, a statement
describing their research program, a statement of teaching interests
(including a list of courses that the applicant would be prepared to
teach), evidence of past teaching performance or teaching potential,
three letters of recommendation, and three writing samples. The search
committee will begin reviewing applications on November 15, 2024, and
continue until the position is filled.

Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience and
qualifications. Position funding is subject to budget availability.
