Description:

Indigenous Languages of the Americas
Department of Native American Studies
University of California, Davis

The Department of Native American Studies at the University of 
California, Davis (UCD) invites applications for an open-rank position in 
the area of indigenous languages of the Americas, with an emphasis 
on North America (U.S., Mexico, Canada) to begin July 1, 2013. This 
position would be filled by an interdisciplinary scholar with an active 
research agenda whose field(s) fall(s) within humanities and/or social 
sciences. The holder of this faculty position in indigenous languages 
should have a Ph.D. in linguistics or in Native American studies with an 
emphasis on language, or in a related field, an active interest in 
indigenous languages of the Americas, and in language acquisition and 
revitalization. The holder of this position must be able to work with 
students who are interested in learning more about indigenous 
languages (in some cases, their heritage languages), and, in particular, 
with our graduate students who are required to study an indigenous 
American language. The holder of this position will be considered for 
appointment as the Director of the Native American Language Center, 
and should show a (beginning or sustained) track record of grant 
support for language research. Candidates must have a Ph.D. in hand 
by the first day of classes.

We seek individuals with a commitment to the enhancement of our 
Native American Studies undergraduate and graduate programs. Our 
department is inter/multidisciplinary and hemispheric in perspective. We 
offer an undergraduate major and minor and graduate program (M.A., 
Ph.D., and D.E. Designated Emphasis) in Native American Studies.
Candidates should include a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, 
two representative writing samples or publications, student evaluations 
from two classes, and the names and addresses of three referees, 
preferably in digital format (with preference for pdf). Review of 
applications will begin on December 1, 2012, and continue until the 
position is filled. Address questions to Professor Zoila Mendoza, 
Search Committee Chair, at the contact email address below. Materials 
should be sent electronically to Billie Gabriel, Academic Personnel 
Coordinator, at the application email address below.

The University of California, Davis and the Department of Native 
American Studies are interested in candidates committed to the highest 
standards of scholarship and professional activities, and to the 
development of a campus climate that supports equality and diversity. 
The University of California is an affirmative action/equal opportunity 
employer with a strong institutional commitment to the achievement of 
diversity among its faculty and staff. In this spirit, UC Davis strongly 
encourages applications from women, minorities, individuals with 
disabilities, covered veterans, and all that meet the qualifications for 
this position.
