Description:
The Department of Linguistics seeks applications for a lecturer in
linguistics, with a focus on teaching and advising in formal
semantics. The ability to teach and advise students in another area in
addition to semantics is a plus. The lecturer will be responsible for
teaching four courses in this area (two per semester). We anticipate a
mix of graduate and undergraduate courses, to include semantics
courses at both levels, and courses possibly from among the following:
an undergraduate introduction to linguistics, structure of a specific
language, a methods course, an introduction to pragmatics for
undergraduates, a special topics seminar, and/or other courses as
appropriate to the candidate’s background. The appointee is expected
to be available to contribute to the advising of both undergraduates
and graduates in their area. The appointment is full time for one year
and will begin on July 1, 2026 and end on June 30, 2027.
Demonstrated strong commitment to teaching is desired.

consideration, applications should be submitted by March 21, 2026. The
position is open until filled.
1. Cover letter (one to three pages). Candidates should include in
their cover letter a description of teaching/advising experience,
including; their philosophy and practices as well as their approach to
creating a learning environment in which students are encouraged to
ask questions and share their ideas.
2. Curriculum Vitae
3. Sample Syllabus or Syllabi (may be for a course already taught, or
a hypothetical future course)
4. Names and contact information of three referees, who will be asked

considered complete only when three letters have been received.
Optional Documents:
5. Statement of Teaching Philosophy
6. Statement of Research
7. Course Evaluations
