Description:

Call for Applications for the Editorship of The Modern Language Journal

Heidi Byrnes will be stepping down as editor of The Modern Language Journal
effective with the last issue of volume 101 (2017). A new editor will be named
effective with the first issue of volume 102 (2018), which goes to press in
mid‐October of 2017. The new editor will begin receiving manuscripts for
consideration in July of 2017.

The new editor should be willing to commit to a four‐year term. A modest
honorarium and budget for office expenses and travel accompany the position.
The editor is expected to name his or her own editorial staff, editorial
board, and associate editors. Applications from co-editors are strongly
encouraged and should be submitted as one application with a rationale for how
the two editors’ backgrounds complement each other.

Qualifications: The ideal candidate will have a background in applied
linguistics, foreign language education, or second language acquisition; a
strong scholarly record; familiarity with quantitative and qualitative
research paradigms; openness to a range of theoretical perspectives; and
experience in carrying out research on the learning or teaching of languages
other than English. Prior editorial experience is preferable but not required.

Application Procedure: Those interested in being considered for the position
should submit as an electronic attachment in one pdf file: (a) a letter
expressing interest, qualifications, and proposed policies and plans for the
MLJ; (b) an up‐to‐date curriculum vitae; (c) a statement of support from the
applicant’s dean and/or department chair outlining the institutional support
that would be guaranteed the editor (e.g., release time, a part‐time secretary
or research assistant). Finalists may be asked for additional information
including references. These should be submitted to Charlene Polio, chair of
the search committee, at polio at msu.edu.

Nominations: If you wish to recommend someone, please email Charlene Polio
with the nomination.

Questions: These may be addressed to Charlene Polio.

Deadline: September 1, 2016.



Application Deadline: 01-Sep-2016 (Open until filled)

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
