Linguistics Jobs
Indiana University has three positions available for
linguists in the Department of Linguistics -- at least one
of which is appropriate for a computational linguist. These
jobs are at the junior level and are at present guaranteed
only for the year 1985-1986. But there is a good chance
they will become permanent lines.
Position 1. SYNTAX AND SEMANTICS, with demon-
strated abilities in current approaches to syntac-
tic theory and semantics; skills in computational
linguistics are advantageous;
Position 2. GENERAL LINGUISTICS, preferably with
an inter-disciplinary perspective; expertise in
African, Amerindian or Asian languages would also
be an advantage.
Position 3. SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION, includ-
ing a background in TESOL preparation programs and
second-language research;
Candidates for each position should have a PhD degree, a
broad background in linguistics and be prepared to teach
general courses as well as in their specialties. Candidates
should send an application letter, curriculum vita and three
letters of reference along with a description and sample of
current research by February 15, 1985 to the department
chair.
IU is located in the remarkably attractive town of Blooming-
ton, Indiana and has an active Computer Science Department
that is closely affiliated with Linguistics as well as close
bonds with speech research laboratories elsewhere on campus.
The department has its own pdp-11/60 running unix for
faculty and student research, a department library and a
phonetics lab based on a pdp-11/23 also running unix. I
will be happy to reply to any netmail regarding these posi-
tions or our priorities (port@indiana) and my phone is (812)
335-9217.
Applications should be sent to:
