Specialty Areas: General Linguistics 

Description:

Lecturer position in general linguistics, beginning January 2016. Required: MA or PhD in linguistics or related field by time of appointment. The successful candidate will mostly teach our introductory linguistics course for English majors, but a candidate with a PhD or other terminal degree may be able to teach other undergraduate courses as needed and as the candidate’s expertise allows, including courses in the history of English, morphology, syntax, sociolinguistics, phonetics, phonology, applied linguistics/TESOL, and/or a general education course for non-majors. Additional opportunities to develop new courses in such areas as computational linguistics, semantics, cognitive linguistics, pragmatics, language policy and planning, language assessment, or applied linguistics research methods may also be available.

A lecturer teaches four courses (12 credits) each semester for the Department of English.  Contracts are renewed yearly based on performance evaluations.  The minimum qualifications are an MA in Linguistics or a related field as well as relevant teaching experience.  Lecturers normally teach lower-division courses, but the Lecturer in Linguistics will teach Linguistics 305 (the introductory course), as well as occasional post-305 courses to address department needs.  They may also develop new course offerings for the linguistics emphasis to address department needs.
