Description:
The Department of Foreign Literatures and Linguistics at Ben-Gurion

a tenure track position (rank open) in linguistics, including but not
limited to phonology, generative syntax, and computational
linguistics.
We are a research-intensive department with both undergraduate and

Candidates must hold a Ph.D. by the time they fill the position.
The successful candidate will be expected to have an excellent
publication record for their career stage and to apply for competitive
research grants. While pursuing their own research agenda, the
candidate is expected to be able to engage in interdisciplinary
collaboration with colleagues in other sub-disciplines within
Linguistics and in other departments.
Classes in our department are conducted entirely in English;
therefore, the successful candidate must be highly proficient in
English.
