Description:

The Departments of English and Anthropology at the University of 
Alaska Anchorage invite applications for a joint tenure-track assistant 
professor position in anthropological linguistics, beginning August 
2013. The position requires a PhD in anthropology, English, linguistics, 
or a related discipline by 1 July 2013. Academic concentration must be 
in anthropological linguistics, linguistic anthropology, or a very closely 
allied subfield. We seek someone with a record of ethnographic 
fieldwork, broadly defined, who is capable of teaching courses in 
linguistics and anthropology at both the undergraduate and graduate 
levels. Geographical area of expertise is open, but candidates with a 
research agenda involving the circumpolar or northern Pacific Rim 
regions, or the desire to develop one, are particularly encouraged to 
apply. The ideal candidate's application will demonstrate a record of or 
commitment to research involving indigenous peoples. The position is a 
tripartite appointment that will involve teaching two courses in the 
Department of English and one in the Department of Anthropology 
each semester; maintaining an active research program in the field of 
specialization; and providing service to the departments, university, 
and community. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to 
develop new courses for both departments, and candidates are invited 
to address this in their cover letter. We seek a candidate dedicated to 
equity and diversity of the campus community and to promoting an 
environment that increases student knowledge about local, national, 
and global communities.
