nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international

assistant professor level. The Department of Applied Linguistics and ESL
consists of three interrelated academic programs (B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in
Applied Linguistics), an English as a Second Language (ESL) program that
provides instruction for university matriculated ESL students at
undergraduate and graduate levels, and a large Intensive English Program

academic language development for ESL students who wish to matriculate at
Georgia State University (GSU) or other post-secondary institutions.

Candidates will have a doctorate in Applied Linguistics or a closely
related field by the time of the appointment. One position is for a
specialist in second language acquisition. Specializations of interest for
the other position include L2 reading and the development of second
language teachers. The ideal candidates will also have strong background
and interest in one or more of the following: syntax and morphology,
psycholinguistics, assessment, and quantitative research methods. 

Successful candidates must demonstrate a coherent research agenda, record
of relevant publications, and demonstrated ability to teach undergraduate
and/or graduate courses, particularly with applications to second language
pedagogy. Preferred candidates will also have experience teaching ESL/EAP
and a record of external funding.

Letters of application, a curriculum vitae, copies of research
publications, evidence of teaching effectiveness, and 3 letters of
professional recommendation should be sent to the address listed below.

Review of the applicants will begin November 4, 2008 but will continue
until successful candidates are identified. The preferred starting date is
fall semester, 2009. Salary is commensurate with experience.

Atlanta is a multi-cultural urban setting. Georgia State University, a unit
