The successful candidate will be familiar with descriptive and theoretical

areas: bilingualism, computational linguistics, field linguistics, historical

Highly desirable qualifications: Knowledge of or scholarly work within the

At time of appointment, the successful candidate, if not a U.S. citizen, must

departmental and/or university committees and to advise students. The standard
teaching load is 12 units (typically four courses) per semester, though
reassigned time for research and curriculum development is available on a
competitive basis. A willingness to teach evening classes is essential. The
successful candidate will teach a variety of courses, and can expect to teach
General Education courses at the baccalaureate level, as well as MA and
undergraduate courses in their field. Publication is required for tenure.
