Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Florida invites
applications for a tenure-track appointment in semantics and
computational linguistics at the rank of Assistant Professor,
beginning August 16, 2025. This is a full-time, nine-month,
tenure-accruing position. Candidates should have an active research
agenda in semantics and employ computational methods (widely defined).
We particularly welcome applicants who can also contribute to our
departmental focus on computational language science. Other
departmental foci include language documentation, psycholinguistics,
and theoretical linguistics. Ability to teach a variety of courses in
semantics and computational methods is required.

UF has recently committed to a university-wide artificial intelligence
initiative along with a major super-computing collaboration with
NVIDIA (ai.ufl.edu). Thus, we particularly encourage applications from
candidates whose research explores semantics in ways that intersect
with current research in computational language science. The
Department of Linguistics seeks to train the next generation of
linguists who are comfortable integrating theoretical and
computational approaches to language into their research in innovative
ways.

The successful candidate will be expected to 1) maintain an active
research agenda, 2) pursue external research funding, 3) teach two
courses per semester at the undergraduate and/or graduate level, 4)
provide service to the department, the university, and the profession.
It is also desirable for the candidate to contribute to UF’s
university-wide Artificial Intelligence initiative to train graduates
for an AI-enabled world (ai.ufl.edu), and seek collaborations within
the department as well as with other units on campus such as the UF
Data Science and Information Technology Center, the Center for Big
Learning, the UF Informatics Institute, or the McKnight Brain
Institute.

UF is the state’s oldest, largest, and most comprehensive land grant
university with an enrollment of over 50,000 students and was ranked
5th best public university in the United States by US News and World
Report 2022, and #1 public university by the Wall Street Journal in
its “2024 Best Colleges in the U.S.” report. UF is located in
Gainesville, a city of approximately 150,000 residents in NorthCentral
Florida, 50 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, and 67 miles from the
Atlantic Ocean, and within a 2-hour drive to large metropolitan areas
(Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville). The beautiful climate and extensive
nearby parks and recreational areas afford year-round outdoor
activities, including hiking, biking, and nature photography. UF’s
large college sports programs, museums, and performing arts center
support a range of activities and cultural events for residents to
enjoy. Alachua County schools are highly rated and offer a variety of
programs including magnet schools and an international baccalaureate
program. Learn more about what Gainesville has to offer at Visit
Gainesville.

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Florida is a
vibrant and congenial unit consisting of 14 full-time faculty and 15
affiliated faculty in the departments of Anthropology; Languages,
Literatures, and Cultures; Spanish and Portuguese Studies; and the
Dial Center for Written & Oral Communication. We offer a B.A., M.A.
and Ph.D. in Linguistics, as well as an undergraduate minor and
undergraduate certificate in TESL and a graduate certificate in Second
Language Acquisition and Teaching. We have faculty expertise in a wide
range of linguistic subfields, and particular strengths in the areas
of bilingualism, language documentation, psycholinguistics,
computational linguistics, and African linguistics. Please see our
website, lin.ufl.edu, for more information about the department.
