Job Title: Assistant Professor of French Linguistics

Required Language(s): French (fra)

Description:

Subject to budgetary approval, the Department of French invites applications
from qualified candidates for a preliminary appointment in French linguistics
at the rank of Assistant Professor, beginning January 1st, 2018.

About the position:

The candidate will be expected to teach primarily undergraduate and graduate
courses in French linguistics, with some occasional teaching assignment in the
areas of research methodology and French-as-a-second-language. Teaching needs
in French linguistics cover a comprehensive range of courses, from
introduction to upper-year special topic seminars and, including foundation
courses in a variety of subfields (such as syntax, semantics, morphology,
sociolinguistics and linguistic analysis). In addition, the candidate will be
expected to provide graduate supervision at the MA level, to actively engage
in a program of research leading to significant peer-reviewed publications and
to contribute meaningfully to the academic and administrative life of the
Department. 

The Department of French at Carleton University offers programs in French and
French studies at the undergraduate and MA level, with a focus on French
linguistics and French literary studies. Programs and courses respond to the
academic needs of a predominantly English-speaking student population. The
Department draws from linguistic expertise in the areas of sociolinguistics,
phonetics, morphosyntax, language ecology and the study of French variation in
general. Programs and courses build on an established tradition of approaching
French studies from a North American perspective, and increasingly situate
French studies in an expanded global context. The Department is committed to
fostering a vibrant academic environment that can benefit student engagement
and sustaining a strong collegial involvement in curriculum development.

Qualifications: 

The position requires a Ph.D. in French linguistics (to be completed by the
time of the appointment). The successful candidate will demonstrate teaching
excellence relevant to the position and a strong potential for developing and
maintaining an innovative program of peer-reviewed research.  Native or
near-native fluency in both French and English is a requirement. Preferences
will be given to candidates with a specialization likely to contribute to the
department’s global and international focus on French Studies.

Application instructions:

The closing date for application is August 31st, 2017. Applications must
include the following in a single PDF document: a letter of intent, a CV, a
sample of recent research, a concise dossier that includes written evidence of
teaching effectiveness (minimally, teaching evaluations), and the contact
information of three potential referees. The application should be sent
electronically in PDF format (one document) to both Dr. Randall Gess,
Assistant Chair, Department of French, Carleton University at the email
address below, and Mrs. Marie-Eve Couture, Departmental Administrator
(MarieEve.couture at carleton.ca)

Please indicate in your application if you are a Canadian citizen or permanent
resident of Canada.

The official ad will be posted some time after July 1, at
http://carleton.ca/provost/faculty-resources/job-opportunities/professors-inst
ructors-librarians/. Please consult that site for additional information on
location and our strong commitment to diversity.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however Canadians and

budgetary approval.
