The Department of Linguistics at Stanford University announces
a fulltime position for a tenure-track assistant professor or
beginning associate professor with a starting date of September 1,
2003. Candidates must hold the Ph.D. in linguistics or a related field
by the starting date. The department values research programs that
link more than one subfield of linguistics in the development of
larger theories of language and language use, and it emphasizes
rigorous theoretical work solidly based on empirical data from, among
other sources, corpora of spoken and written usage, experimental
findings, fieldwork, and computer modeling. We are particularly
interested in receiving applications from candidates in the following
areas: phonetics/phonology, sociolinguistics/variation & change, and
computational linguistics/language processing. Filling this position
represents an initial step in our long-range plans for the department.

To receive full consideration, applications should arrive by December
6th, 2002. Stanford University is an equal opportunity employer and
especially welcomes applications from women and minority
candidates. Please include a CV, statements of research and teaching
interests, up to three research papers, and the names of three or four
references. All applicants should also have letters of reference sent
directly to the Search Committee. E-mail inquiries should be directed
to Professor Beth Levin, the chair of the search committee, at
bclevin@stanford.edu.
