Job Location: California, USA 
Web Address: http://www.csuchico.edu/engl/
Job Title: Temporary Appointment in Linguistics
Job Rank: Adjunct Professor

Specialty Areas: Language Acquisition; Morphology; Sociolinguistics; Syntax 


Description:

The Department of English is searching for a one-year, temporary appointment
in Linguistics starting in August 2017. The candidate must be able to teach
courses in general linguistics (e.g., syntax, morphology, sociolinguistics),
English grammar, and second language acquisition. We are especially interested
in candidates committed to supporting the success of first-generation and
underrepresented students. CSU, Chico seeks faculty who are competent in their
field, collaborative with colleagues and staff, and committed to student
success. The position is contingent on funding. 

The minimum education requirement for appointment to this position is a Ph.D.
in Linguistics. Candidates nearing completion of the doctorate may be
considered; however, the doctorate must be complete prior to the beginning of
the academic year, August 2017. 

Eligible candidates could have expertise in any area in linguistics but should
be qualified to teach undergraduate-level courses across a variety of
different areas in the field. Preferred qualifications include training and
experience in teaching non-native students, curriculum development, and a
strong background in second language acquisition theory. Successful candidates
should have a demonstrated commitment to diversity as evidenced in their
record of teaching, scholarship, and/or service.

The teaching load is four courses per semester. Teaching responsibilities
include undergraduate-level courses within the candidate’s disciplinary
expertise, as well as courses for teacher education.  
                        
Appointment will be at the rank of assistant professor; salary is commensurate
with qualifications and experience.

The English Department is a diverse department with faculty working in five
sub-disciplines (Literature, Creative Writing, Composition/Rhetoric, English
Education, and Linguistics). Department faculty have a wide range of teaching
and research interests, including cross-disciplinary work.  Our students come
from a variety of traditional and non-traditional academic backgrounds. The
Department offers three majors (Literature, English Studies, and English
Education), minors in English, Creative Writing, and Linguistics, a
certificate in TESOL; and a strong M.A. in English, with advising patterns in
Literature, Language and Literacy, and Creative Writing. It offers nearly 300
class sections and 10 graduate seminars a year. The department is home to an
active National Writing Project site, the ESL Resource Center, the Watershed
Review, and participates actively in General Education, Humanities, Honors,
and Liberal Studies programs, as well as the Educational Opportunity Program
and the Student Learning Center.

Closing Date:  Review of applications will begin on March 24, 2017-April 28,
2017; complete applications received after that date may be considered.

How to Apply:  For reasons of equity and access, we will be conducting screen
interviews via an electronic medium. Applicants must submit a letter of
application, an Application for Academic Employment Form, found at
www.csuchico.edu/faaf/documents/FacultyEmploymentApplication.pdf, CV, writing
sample, teaching portfolio (including a statement of teaching philosophy,
sample syllabi, and course evaluations), and three letters of recommendation
to Interfolio’s ByCommittee at the application URL below.
