Job Location: Oregon, USA 
Web Address: http://logos.uoregon.edu/
Job Rank: Asst/Assoc Professor  

Specialty Areas: Applied Linguistics; Language Acquisition 

Description:

The Department of Linguistics, University of Oregon is seeking an assistant 
or associate professor with a specialization in second language acquisition 
and/or teaching, beginning 16 September 2012. This position will be closely 
associated with our Language Teaching Specialization MA program with both 
teaching and some administrative requirements in that program. This MA 
program attracts many international students, and prepares students for 
careers in teaching any second/foreign language, including English, Swahili, 
Portuguese, Korean, Farsi, and several Native American languages. The 
Department also offers core courses in the undergraduate Second Language 
Acquisition and Teaching Certificate program (http://slat.uoregon.edu), and 
contains the American English Institute (http://aei.uoregon.edu), providing 
additional opportunities for interaction with SLT faculty and students.

We seek a candidate with experience and demonstrated strength in second or 
foreign language teaching across proficiency levels and/or teaching settings, 
as well as a commitment to graduate and undergraduate teaching and 
mentoring, including teacher education. Candidates should have established 
research in SLT and/or SLA, and should connect well with our international 
outlook, emphasis on empirical research methodologies, experience in 
minority language preservation and revitalization, and other existing strengths 
of our department. We are particularly seeking candidates with expertise and 
a strong record of research and publication in one or more of the following 
areas: Applications of current research to language teaching methods, e.g., 
testing and assessment, curriculum design, instructional technology; 
psycholinguistics or sociolinguistics of second language acquisition and/or 
bilingualism; endangered language revitalization; teaching and learning of less 
commonly taught languages. 

The successful candidate will be expected to maintain an active research 
profile and contribute to service requirements. Teaching expectations include: 
undergraduate courses in general linguistics and second language 
teaching/acquisition; teacher preparation courses; graduate level courses in 
SLA/SLT, and development of other courses, including graduate seminars, 
plus mentoring graduate student research at MA and PhD levels. While this 
appointment is wholly within Linguistics, there will be opportunity to interact 
with faculty and students in allied departments and programs, e.g. language 
teaching departments, Psychology, the Center for Applied Second Language 
Studies (http://casls.uoregon.edu/), Northwest Indian Language Institute 
(http://pages.uoregon.edu/nwili/) and the World Languages Academy 
(http://wla.uoregon.edu/). 

PhD in Second Language Acquisition/Teaching, Linguistics or related field 
required by September 16, 2012. Salary commensurate with qualifications. 
Applications only accepted via http://academicjobsonline.org. Include cover 
letter, research and teaching statements, representative publications, and 
names and contact information for three references, including at least one 
who can address your teaching. Letters of reference and teaching evaluations 
are not required with the initial application. 

Position open until filled. Review begins December 28, 2011. We will conduct 
preliminary interviews at the LSA in Portland, January 2012. The University of 
Oregon is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action institution committed to 
cultural diversity and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. 
The successful candidate will support and enhance a diverse learning and 
working environment.

Application Deadline: 28-Dec-2011 (Open until filled)
