The Department of Linguistics at Rice University located in Houston,

July 1, 2017. The candidate should have research expertise related to
sociophonetics, speech perception, and/or laboratory phonology.
Experience recording and analyzing language-in-use in local speech

varieties of English) is desirable. This is a two-year appointment with
possibility of renewal with a competitive salary. The successful
applicant will be asked to teach two undergraduate courses per semester
in the areas of Introduction to Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, and
Phonetics/Phonology. S/he will also be expected to participate in

required by time of appointment.
We especially welcome applications from researchers who share the
department’s interest in approaching language from a usage-based
perspective with solid empirical grounding in primary data especially
approaches of a cognitive, social-interactional, and/or functional
nature. See also our department website at http://ling.rice.edu.
