The Department of Linguistics in the College of Arts and Sciences at The Ohio State University invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Phonology, with a starting date of August 2015. Candidates should have a strong background in core phonological theories and methods as well as in the collection and analysis of primary phonological data. Such data can be from any source, including research on under-described language varieties, child or adult language learners, phonological processing, among others. The Department of Linguistics at Ohio State has a long history of interdisciplinary collaboration, interacting with and supporting other programs, including contributions to the Buckeye Language Network and the Center for Cognitive and Brain Sciences, and collaborations with Computer Science and Engineering, Psychology, Philosophy, Speech and Hearing Sciences, and the foreign language programs, among others. Linguistics faculty have built strong ties with affiliated faculty across the University through research collaborations, student advising, co-taught courses, curricular development, workshops, and conferences. Candidates who are interested in building connections and interacting with faculty and students across this broader linguistics community are particularly encouraged to apply.
Qualifications:
Applicants should have a demonstrated record or strong likelihood of publication in top-tier journals, as well as promise for excellence in teaching core graduate and undergraduate courses and advising students in the study of the cognitive representation of language sound systems. The new assistant professor will be expected to be active in research and publication, to meet standard departmental teaching requirements, and to perform service duties as required by the Department and the University. Applicants are expected to have a Ph.D. in Linguistics, or a related field, by the start of employment.
Application Instructions:
Applicants should submit a letter of interest, curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching interests, and three letters of recommendation. Applicants are requested to identify 3-5 samples of published or unpublished work, including at least one example of the currently most active research program, and provide URLs where the work can be accessed. Inquiries may be directed to Cynthia Clopper (clopper.1@osu.edu; 614-292-8235). Review of applications will begin on November 17, 2014 and we encourage submission before that date.
