The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to engage in non-discriminatory 
hiring practices. We urge employers not to discriminate on the grounds of race, 
ethnicity, nationality, disability, 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
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Job Rank: Lecturer  

Specialty Areas: Applied Linguistics; General Linguistics 

Description:

The Department of Applied Linguistics at Brock University invites
applications for a 12-month Instructional Limited-Term Appointment in
Applied Linguistics at the rank of Lecturer or Assistant Professor starting
July 1st 2012. 

Applicants must have a PhD in Linguistics or a closely related field in
hand or near completion, with course work and/or thesis concentration in
the areas of the designated courses. Applicants must also have teaching
experience in the context of a university-level linguistics (or closely
similar) program, as instructor responsible for all aspects of one or more
courses. Because some courses to be taught under this contract are part of
a program for TESL Ontario Adult ESL Certification, applicants must hold or
be eligible to obtain TESL Ontario TESL Trainer Accreditation at least for
Theory.

The courses to be taught include eight single-term assignments, which we
anticipate will be balanced four/four over the autumn and winter terms:
LING 1F94 (Introduction to General Linguistics: 2nd half of a two-term
course), LING1P92 (Introduction to the Psychology of Language), LING2P50
(Phonetics), LING2P53 (Phonology), LING3P61 (Child Language Acquisition:
Early Stages), LING3P71 (Syntax), LING3P94 (Semantics and Pragmatics), and
LING3P95 (Discourse Analysis).

The Department of Applied Linguistics at Brock has eleven permanent faculty
members plus one limited term appointment, and has a vibrant undergraduate
program and an M.A. program.

Review of applications will commence on April 25, 2012 and will continue
until the position is filled. Applicants should submit a letter of
application accompanied by a curriculum vitae and evidence of teaching
competence, and should arrange for the submission of three letters of
reference. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however,
Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.

The position is subject to final budgetary approval. Applications should be
sent to the application address or email address below. Electronic
submissions are acceptable. 

Brock University is actively committed to diversity and the principles of
Employment Equity and invites applications from all qualified candidates.
Women, Aboriginal peoples, members of visible minorities, and people with
disabilities are especially encouraged to apply and to voluntarily self
identify as a member of a designated group as part of their application.
Candidates who wish to have their application considered as a member of one
or more designated groups should fill out the Self-Identification Form
available at http://www.brocku.ca/webfm_send/1095 and include the completed
form with their application.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
