Applicants must be able to teach general linguistics courses and courses at all levels in phonetics and phonology, including seminars, and provide research mentoring.
The successful candidate must have completed all requirements for receipt of the Ph.D. in Linguistics or a related field by the start of the appointment. The expected start date is July 1, 2023, or as soon as possible thereafter.
