Grinnell College is a highly selective undergraduate liberal arts college. The

student-faculty interaction, with few college-wide requirements beyond the
completion of a major. The successful candidate will join several faculty
appointed in a variety of departments who contribute to the interdisciplinary
Linguistics Concentration. The program has recording equipment and a
Linguistics Lab that will be available for the candidate’s use. The teaching
schedule of three courses over two semesters will include an introductory
course in Linguistics (in both fall and spring) and an intermediate course in
a core area of General Linguistics, preferably Semantics or
Phonetics/Phonology (in fall). This intermediate course is intended for
students whose only previous experience in the field has been through the
introductory course in Linguistics. In letters of application, candidates
should discuss their interest in developing as a teacher and scholar in an
undergraduate liberal arts college that emphasizes close student-faculty
interaction. They should also discuss how they might contribute to a college
community that has diversity - of people, personal and educational
experiences, and disciplinary perspectives - as one of its core values.  To be
assured of full consideration, all application materials should be received by
March 4, 2015. Please submit applications online by visiting our application
website (below). Candidates will need to upload a letter of application,
curriculum vitae, transcripts (copies are acceptable), a course description
and syllabus for the introductory course in Linguistics, a course description
and syllabus for the intermediate course on a core area of General
Linguistics, and provide email addresses for three references. Questions about
this search should be directed to the search chair, Professor Carmen Valentín,
at Linguisticssearch at grinnell.edu  or 641-269-4343.
