Recirculating, and clarifying, ad for one year replacement position at NAU

[Jim Wilce]

Dear colleague,

I am resending our ad for a one year replacement position in linguistic 
anthropology along with two added bits of information.

First, the position is in Flagstaff, one of the most beautiful little 
mountain towns in the US.

Second, an explanation of "four sections per semester": One of these 
each semester would be the linguistic anthropology lab, for which prep 
would be minimal. Beyond lab, we offer several "sections" of our larger 
courses each semester. Thus it would be possible that the successful 
candidate would (in one semester) teach lab, two sections of the same 
liberal studies course on culture and communication (i.e. one prep), and 
the advanced grad course, for a total of two preps. Three preps would be 
more likely in the fall -- lab, undergrad linguistic anthropology for 
majors, grad intro course in linguistic anthropology, and one other course.

I hope you will apply or encourage your students to do so.

Best regards,

Jim

process in the lab setting.

Salary commensurate with experience.
