Prof. Bronwyn Bjorkman and/or Prof. Laura Kalin.
The successful candidate(s) may be invited to teach one course for
Linguistics per semester, pending sufficient enrollments and with the
approval of the Office of the Dean of the Faculty, and may engage in a

or advising, the successful candidate(s) will carry the secondary rank
of Lecturer. In addition, they will be expected to participate in the
intellectual life of the Program in Linguistics.
A PhD in Linguistics or relevant discipline is required. The Term of
appointment is based on rank. Positions at the postdoctoral rank are
for one year with the possibility of renewal pending satisfactory
performance and continued funding; those hired at more senior ranks

September 1, 2026.
