The Department of Linguistics at the University of California, San
Diego invites applications for a tenure-track position at the
assistant professor level in the linguistics of heritage
languages. The term 'heritage language' denotes a language other than
English that is associated with an individual's ethnic or cultural
background, and a 'heritage speaker' is someone who speaks or merely
understands a language (other than English) that was spoken at
home. This position is part of a new interdisciplinary initiative
(California Cultures in Comparative Perspectives) sponsored the Social
Sciences and Humanities and addressing ethnic, cultural, and
linguistic diversity in California.



The successful applicant should be a qualified linguist with a strong
background in linguistic theory and a research program concentrating
on issues of language loss, attrition, acquisition,
maintenance/preservation of heritage languages, or variation among
heritage language speakers/populations in California. Possible
languages include but are not limited to: Arabic, Cambodian,
Cantonese, Hmong, Japanese, Korean, Native American languages of
California, Pashto, Persian, Slavic languages, Somali, Spanish,
Tagalog, Vietnamese. The successful applicant would be expected to
develop and help direct a program in the teaching and study of
heritage languages and their respective populations. The candidates
should have a Ph.D. in linguistics at the time of appointment.

If you would like to be interviewed at the meeting of the Linguistic
Society of America in San Francisco, send CV, statement of research
and teaching interests, evidence of teaching, and names, addresses,
