Description:

University of South Carolina
Spanish Transatlantic Studies
Assistant Professor

The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures and the Spanish Program
at the University of South Carolina invite applications for a tenure-track
assistant professor in the area of Latino/a Studies, Border Studies, or
Hispanic Sociolinguistics (especially Bilingualism or Languages in Contact).
Scholarly interest in Portuguese is a plus. The successful candidate will be
expected to contribute to our new Ph.D. program to bridge traditional
Hispanic/Spanish Studies and new fields of inquiry concerning Latin America
and/or the Spanish-speaking diaspora in the United States. The successful
candidate will also have an interest in playing an active role in the
community. Teaching responsibilities include two courses per semester, with
assignments in a broad range of undergraduate and graduate courses in Spanish.
Experience teaching at the college level is required. Also required are native
or near-native command of both Spanish and English and a Ph.D. in hand by
August 1, 2015.

Applicants should submit a letter of application, current CV, and three signed
letters of recommendation (include academic addresses, emails and phone
numbers) through the Interfolio website (below). For full consideration by the
search committee, complete applications should be received through the
Interfolio website no later than November 1, 2014.

The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures is proud to be home to
the tenth ranked public PhD in Comparative Literature in the nation (NRC
2010). We are also home to internationally known scholars in language
acquisition and literary studies, Chinese, Classics, French, German, Russian,
and Spanish. The department provides instruction in 12 languages and offers
undergraduate majors in seven different programs, teacher certification in 4
language programs, and Masters degrees in Comparative Literature, French,
German, and Spanish. It also works as an active partner with the PhD in
Linguistics. Languages, Literatures, and Cultures is a campus leader in the
study and use of instructional technology, and the home of innovative programs
that move learning beyond the traditional classroom.

The University of South Carolina's main campus is located in the state
capital, close to the mountains and the coast. The Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching has designated the University of South Carolina as one
of only 73 public and 35 private academic institutions with "very high
research activity" and also lists USC as having strong focus on community
engagement. The University has over 31,000 students on the main campus (and
over 46,000 students system-wide), more than 350 degree programs, and a
nationally-ranked library system that includes one of the nation's largest
public film archives. Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, is the center
of a greater metropolitan area which has a population over 750,000.

The University of South Carolina is an affirmative action, equal opportunity
employer. Minorities and women are encouraged to apply. The University of
South Carolina does not discriminate in educational or employment
opportunities or decisions for qualified persons on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, or
veteran status.
