We seek a linguist who can teach courses in the English major, including
state-mandated classes for future teachers such as History and Development of
the English Language, Modern American Grammar, and Linguistic Analysis.
Competitive candidates will demonstrate the ability to design and teach
courses with a sociolinguistic focus that support existing concentrations in
the English major, especially the Cultural Studies Concentration, Elementary
and Secondary Education Concentrations, and the Rhetoric and Composition
Concentration.  The best candidates will have a teaching and research agenda
that will expand department offerings in terms of academic and cultural
diversity, and have experience with relevant technology and software. 
Bilingual candidates (English/Spanish) are especially encouraged to apply. 

Candidates must also have a demonstrated commitment to serving the needs of
first year students in either first year writing or a first year introductory
program.  Additional teaching responsibilities may include introductory and
intermediate courses serving the English major and the university’s Liberal
Arts Core. Teaching load is 12 credits (typically four courses) per semester.

Qualifications: 
PhD or ABD in Linguistics or English. The successful candidate will have an
awareness of and sensitivity to educational goals of a multicultural
population gained in cross-cultural study, training, teaching or other
comparable experience.
