Job Posting Details 

The Division of Humanities invites applications for a tenure-track faculty
position in linguistics at the Assistant Professor rank to be filled beginning
in Fall 2017.  The appointee will teach undergraduate courses in humanities
for general education and the new undergraduate major program in Global China
Studies offered by the School of Humanities and Social Science.  The
successful applicant will also be involved in postgraduate teaching in the
field of the applicant's specialty.

Applicants should have a PhD degree from a reputable institution and
demonstrate a strong publication record or potential in conducting research
that generates international impact.  A track record of successful competitive
grant applications and/or excellent record on teaching at college level will
be advantageous.  The areas of specialization are primarily phonetics and
phonology with a focus on Sinitic and/or other languages spoken in China. 
Other areas such as sociolinguistics, dialectology, historical linguistics,
applied linguistics, etc., are also welcome.  Interdisciplinary and
interregional research orientation, proven potential to develop teaching and
research in the broad direction of digital humanities, or the ability to
connect to the strength of science and technology fields of the University
will be taken into consideration.  Senior academics with very outstanding
credentials of leadership in scholarship and academic administration may also
be considered.  While fluency in English is expected for all, proficiency in
Chinese language is expected if China is part of the research agenda.

The University is committed to diversity in recruitment and equal opportunity
employment.

Salary is highly competitive.  Fringe benefits include medical/dental benefits
and annual leave will be provided.  Housing benefits will also be provided
where applicable.  Initial appointment at Assistant Professor rank will
normally be on a three-year contract, renewable subject to mutual agreement. 
A gratuity will be payable upon successful completion of contract.

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!
