one-year replacement position at University of Virginia

[Ellen Contini-Morava]

The U.Va. Anthropology Department is looking for a recent PhD for a 
one-year replacement position in anthropological linguistics for the 
08-09 academic year. The position comes with a 5-course load (two of 
which could be sections of the same preparation) and is intended to 
serve the diverse needs of undergraduate linguistics and anthropology 
majors, linguistics MA students, and linguistic anthropology graduate 
students. The classes that need to be taught include: a large 
undergraduate Language and Culture class; a graduate course in 
linguistic field methods (or other topic focusing on descriptive 
analysis of the structure of a specific language, language family, or 
the languages of a particular region); a second graduate course in 
applicant's area of expertise; and two other undergraduate courses such 
as Languages of the World (possibly construed as two sections of a 
single course).

The Ph.D. is required in order to teach graduate courses.  We ask 
applicants to send a letter of interest including names and contact 
information of two references, a CV, and sample syllabi to Ellen 
Contini-Morava, Chair, Department of Anthropology, PO Box 400120, 
University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904-4120 (email 
elc9j at virginia.edu).  Electronic submissions preferred.  Review of 
applications will begin immediately and will continue until the job is 
filled.
