Cognitive Science of Language
The Department of Linguistics and Languages at McMaster University
invites applications for a tenure-track appointment, effective July
1, 2008, at the rank of Associate Professor, or Professor.
Preference will be given to applicants qualified to teach in the
field of the cognitive science of language broadly defined. The
current minimum salary at the rank of Associate Professor is $71,118.00.
The Department has launched a successful undergraduate program in
Linguistic Cognitive Science, drawing on existing strengths in second
language acquisition and bilingualism, cognitive linguistics,
clinical sociolinguistics, phonology, computational text analysis and
psycholinguistics. We expect that this appointment will help anchor
and develop the newly proposed MSc/PhD in the Cognitive Science of
Language, an interdisciplinary program which draws faculty from the
Faculties of Humanities, Science, Health Science and Engineering, and
will help build relationships with the community of clinicians, both
in medicine and speech and language pathology.
Qualifications should include a PhD. in Linguistics, Cognitive
Science or closely related field, demonstrated ability to teach at
both the undergraduate and graduate level, and an established record
of scholarly research. The successful candidate will normally teach
five one-term courses in an academic year and participate in the
research and administrative activities of the department.
Administrative expertise an asset.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however,
Canadians and Permanent Residents will be given priority. McMaster
University is strongly committed to employment equity within its
community, and to recruiting a diverse faculty and staff. The
University encourages applications from all qualified candidates,
including women, members of visible minorities, Aboriginal persons,
and persons with disabilities.
Candidates are asked to provide the following materials: a letter
of application, curriculum vitae, copies of two recent scholarly
papers or chapters, three letters of reference, and teaching
evaluations. All documentation submitted in support of your
application becomes the property of the University and is not
returnable. Applications that arrive before November 30, 2007 will
receive full consideration. Please submit applications (electronic
applications accepted) to:
