Joint Tenure-Track Positions in Linguistics and Cognitive Science
University of California, Berkeley
 
Pending budgetary approval, the Department of Linguistics at the
University of California, Berkeley has been authorized to make up to
two full-time tenure-track appointments, at the assistant professor
level, in the area of language and cognition.  One of these will be a
joint appointment with the undergraduate program in Cognitive Science. 
Salary will be commensurate with experience; the Ph.D. (in Linguistics
or an allied field) is required by July 1, 2007, the starting date of
the appointment.  Duties will include undergraduate and graduate
teaching (four courses per year) and advising, supervision of student
research, and development of a successful and original research
program.

Successful candidates will have a broad intellectual engagement with
the fields of Linguistics and Cognitive Science.  Scholars with
interests in the sociocultural aspects of cognition and language,
including (but not limited to) pragmatics, language use, or language
learning, are especially encouraged to apply.

The tenure home and graduate teaching for both positions will be in
the Department of Linguistics.  One position will entail two
undergraduate courses per year in Cognitive Science, including courses
cross-listed in Linguistics.
Applications should include a curriculum vitae, copies of
representative work, and evidence of excellence in teaching. 
Applicants should arrange for three letters of recommendation to be
sent.  (Please direct referees to
http://apo.chance.berkeley.edu/evalltr.html for the University’s
statement on confidentiality.)  Preliminary interviews may be
conducted, by invitation, at the Linguistic Society of America meeting
in Anaheim, CA, in January, 2007.
