Assistant Professor, Semantics
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Cambridge, MA
The Department of Linguistics & Philosophy at MIT invites applications for a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level, starting July 1, 2021, or as soon thereafter as possible. The appointment will be made in the area of Semantics, understood in a fairly broad sense. We equally encourage applicants whose work is focused primarily on semantic theory, and applicants whose work in semantics connects strongly with other areas of linguistics and/or adjacent fields. We also encourage a range of focuses and methodological approaches, including (but not limited to) fieldwork on under documented languages, experimental studies, computational modeling, and focused theoretical work. Applicants must possess a Ph.D. in linguistics or a related field by the start of employment. Faculty responsibilities include teaching at the graduate and undergraduate level and conducting research in the area of semantics.
Applicants should submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, copies of research papers, evidence of teaching ability, and contact information for at least three referees. In addition, the application should include a statement outlining the applicant's research interests, previous achievements, and plans, as well as the broader questions that this research promises to engage with.
We prefer that applications and supporting materials be submitted online, at the application link provided below.
Review of applications will begin on December 16, 2020. To ensure full consideration, applications should be complete by this date, but we will consider all applications submitted until the position is filled.
