Job Title: Clinical assistant professor of TESOL/TEFL
Job Rank: Assistant Professor

Required Language(s): English (eng)

Description:

The Warner School invites applications for a half-time clinical-track position in TESOL/TEFL at the assistant professor rank, starting with the academic year 2016- 2017. Main responsibilities for this position include acting as Associate Director for the TESOL program preparing students for positions outside of US K-12 schools, and supporting the Warner School’s efforts more generally with international students. More specifically, the position will involve teaching a total of 3-4 graduate courses each year (depending on other responsibilities assumed), advising international students in TESOL education, supervising Ed.D. doctoral dissertations, engaging in clinical scholarship and participating in other university, community, and professional service, such as program development and recruitment. The position is guaranteed for a minimum of 50% FTE, with the potential to increase the percentage of effort.

The Teaching and Curriculum Program within which this position is nested offers master’s and doctoral degree programs as well as programs that lead to NYS teacher certification at the initial and professional levels. All these programs emphasize a social, historical, and contextual approach to education that is rooted in an interdisciplinary perspective, and build on the integration of theory and practice. The position requires a commitment to teacher education, school reform, diversity, inclusion, and social justice, as well as a strong theoretical background and a scholarly agenda that focuses specifically on practice.

Applicants should have a background in teaching additional languages, particularly TESOL/TEFL, as well as experience with a variety of research methodologies, including action research. Preferred candidates will have an earned doctorate (or a completed doctorate by the start date) in language education (TESOL, applied linguistics or a related field), experience teaching in and/or directing TESOL/TEFL programs, experience with online teaching, have a deep understanding of the experiences of international students, and/or experience working with international students.

Send a (1) letter of application stating teaching, professional practice, community and international outreach, and research interests, (2) current vita, (3) up to three samples of publications or other writing and evidence of professional work, (4) sample of course syllabi and course evaluations (if available) and (5) at least three letters of reference.
