Subject: Position in Syntax
The Linguistics Program at the University of Georgia seeks to fill a
tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level. The position will
begin in Fall Semester, 1998. We are looking for someone engaged in
ongoing and substantial research in the area of syntax. The successful
applicant will be expected to teach syntax from the first undergraduate
course through the advanced graduate level. Linguistics at Georgia is an
interdisciplinary program, and this position will be located in one of the
departments from which Linguistics faculty are drawn; while the teaching
load for this position is expected to be primarily in syntax, candidates
should be able to show their compatibility with a department in an arts
college. The normal course load will be four courses per year on the
semester system. Candidates with degree in hand by August 1998 will be
preferred.
