We invite applications from linguists specializing in either of the
following: the social or demographic contexts of language, or languages of
the Pacific or the Asian Pacific Rim. Applicants under the first rubric

linguistics, or mixed languages (among other areas). Applicants under the
second rubric could include areal specialists in East or Southeast Asian,
Austronesian, Papuan, or Australian languages, and could include linguists
working on any aspect of language structure, history, or context. Under
either rubric, applicants should have a broad intellectual engagement with
the field of linguistics, a theoretically informed and empirically grounded
research specialization, and demonstrated excellence in teaching. We are
