DESCRIPTION
The Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Santa Barbara seeks to hire a specialist in psycholinguistics. The appointment will be a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level, effective July 1, 2020.
The successful candidate will have an active research program in psycholinguistics and will have a record of participation and evidence of research excellence in this subfield. The area of specialization is open, but of particular interest is expertise in morphology and/or syntax and research experience with languages other than English, especially languages that are currently understudied in the subfield. Additional expertise in computational approaches to psycholinguistics is desirable. Engagement with the distinctive usage-based theoretical orientation of the department is expected. We welcome applicants with research interests that will contribute to departmental foci, such as corpus linguistics, language acquisition, and/or field linguistics. We also encourage applicants who have the potential to interact with colleagues and students across disciplinary boundaries at UCSB, such as the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Emphasis in Cognitive Science.
A demonstrated commitment to undergraduate and graduate education and a record of successful teaching experience in linguistics or a closely related field is required. The successful candidate will be expected to teach a range of graduate and undergraduate courses in psycholinguistics, experimental methods, and potentially other topics as well as to contribute to the department’s undergraduate major with an emphasis in Speech-Language Sciences and Disorders.

The Department of Linguistics has a genuine commitment to diversity and is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching, and service.
