PVN #: FY-16376

Closing Date: Open until filled with review of applications to begin September 14, 2009

Department: Ph.D./M.A. Program in Linguistics

Description:

The Ph.D. and M.A. Program in Linguistics at The Graduate Center of the City University of New York invites applications for a linguist of distinction who specializes in comparative or field linguistics with a preferred specialization in phonology/morphology. We seek an internationally recognized scholar with a strong record of interdisciplinary research in bi-or multilingualism, second language acquisition, languages in contact, language conservation, or language maintenance, attrition, and shift.

The Graduate Center, which is the Ph.D.-granting institution of CUNY, is devoted to advancing original research and training graduate students in over 30 fields in the humanities, social sciences and sciences. This position is part of a Graduate Center-wide initiative to hire new faculty interested in the interdisciplinary study of immigration and globalization. We expect that during the next three years this initiative will result in the hiring of six scholars (in both the humanities and social sciences) doing groundbreaking work related to the interdisciplinary study of social change in an era of globalization.

Qualifications:

Ph.D. required. The search committee envisions making a senior appointment, but a less senior applicant of exceptional distinction will be considered. A particularly strong candidate may be nominated as a Distinguished Professor. The successful candidate must have demonstrated interdisciplinary interests and a proven ability to work collaboratively.

Salary Range: Commensurate with qualifications and experience

FLSA Status: Exempt
