must be in hand at time of appointment. Candidates should show 
clear evidence of strong scholarly potential and teaching excellence. 
Desirable research areas include but are not limited to: laboratory 
phonology, sociophonetics, pragmatics, and discourse analysis. 
Knowledge of Italian and/or Portuguese is a plus. The successful 
candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate courses in Spanish 
linguistics and will have the opportunity to be affiliated with Penn 
State's Program in Linguistics and the Center for Language Science.
