and/or apply understanding of issues such as diversity and multiculturalism
to scholarship.

Appointment Terms: The successful candidate's primary academic appointment
will be within the Department of Linguistics at the main campus in Storrs,
CT. The incumbent may have the opportunity to work at the University's
campuses at Avery Point, Hartford, Stamford, Torrington, Waterbury, or West
Hartford. Salary will be commensurate with background, qualifications, and
experience.
