Job Title: Assistant Professor of Instruction - Semantics
Job Rank: Visiting Assistant Professor

Minimum Education: PhD

Specialty Areas: General Linguistics; Pragmatics; Semantics

Description:
The Department of Linguistics at The University of Texas at Austin
invites applications for an Assistant Professor of Instruction for the
2026-27 academic year. Teaching needs include introductory
undergraduate and graduate semantics courses. We seek applicants with
expertise in any area of semantics/pragmatics, ideally those whose
research fits well with our current research group in syntax and
semantics, and who can potentially connect with the department’s other
core research areas: descriptive and documentary linguistics,
historical linguistics, computational linguistics, sign language
linguistics, and phonetics and phonology, and psycholinguistics. This
one-year appointment carries a 2-2 teaching load, allowing time for
the successful applicant to advance their own research, as well as to
engage with and participate in advising undergraduate and graduate
students, while contributing to the intellectual life of the
department.
Qualifications:
Applicants must have completed all requirements for a Ph.D. in
linguistics or a related field by the time of appointment.
Application Instructions:
Applicants are asked to 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 department will begin reviewing applications on June 26, 2026, and
continue until the position is filled.
