<div>
<p>The Department of Communication (<a
href="http://communication.ucsd.edu/" rel="nofollow"
target="_blank" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">http://communication.ucsd.edu/</a>)
within the School of Social Sciences at the University of
California San Diego is seeking to make an appointment at the
rank of Assistant Professor, to begin Fall, 2023 in the
following area:</p>
<p>Language and Social Justice: Our ideal candidate will have an
active and creative research and teaching program that focuses
on the relationship between language and struggles for social
justice particularly as they occur around race, indigeneity,
gender, disability, class and nationality. Also of interest is
how language becomes an instrument for perpetuating systems of
exclusion and inequality, and at the same time a vehicle for
framing alternative visions that challenge such systems. Areas
of specialization may include: language and globalization,
including bilingualism and multilingualism; language and
decolonization; language and migration; language and learning
systems; language and media culture; multimodality; political,
moral, and legal discourses related to language; and
ecolinguistics (the relation between language and the
environment). We are open to candidates trained in
communication, relevant areas of linguistics (such as
sociolinguistics) or other relevant fields. </p>
<p>Successful candidates will have strong methodological skills
that augment the department’s interdisciplinary program and
strengths in cultural and historical analysis, institutional
analysis (including political economy), comparative analysis,
ethnography and textual and discourse analysis, and community
based participatory research. Candidates from a wide range of
disciplinary backgrounds and/or with a research focus on LatinX
or other underrepresented language communities are encouraged to
apply. </p>
<p>The Department of Communication and the University of
California San Diego are committed to academic excellence and
diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body. We seek
candidates who will maintain the highest standards of
scholarship and professional activity and make a strong and
meaningful contribution to the development of a campus climate
that supports equality and diversity. </p>
