Description:

The Dept. of Languages, Literatures and Cultures in the Faculty of Arts &

The ideal candidate will have a scholarly interest, expertise and a

- Ethnography;

- Language contacts or creole linguistics; 
- Indigenous heritage and language revitalization;

- Writing systems. 

We particularly welcome applications from candidates whose research relates to
any of the languages offered in the department (Anishinaabemowin, Arabic,
German, Hebrew, Inuktitut, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Mohawk, Portuguese,
and Spanish). The successful candidate will contribute to the new Languages,
Literatures and Cultures (LLCU) Major and will demonstrate expertise in
cultural diversity and inter-cultural sensitivity. The successful candidate
will participate in developing and teaching a fourth-year capstone course for
the LLCU Major, and is expected to teach one or more existing core courses in
the Linguistics program. 

The preferred starting date is July 1, 2019. 

Candidates must have a PhD or equivalent degree completed at the start date of
the appointment. The main criteria for selection are academic and teaching
excellence. The successful candidate will provide evidence of high quality
scholarly output that demonstrates potential for independent research leading
to peer assessed publications and the securing of external research funding,
as well as strong potential for outstanding teaching contributions at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels, and an ongoing commitment to academic and
pedagogical excellence in support of the department’s programs. 

Candidates must provide evidence of an ability to work collaboratively in an
interdisciplinary and student-centered environment. The successful candidate
will be required to make substantive contributions through service to the
department, the Faculty, the University, and/or the broader community. Salary
will be commensurate with qualifications and experience. This position is
subject to final budgetary approval by the University. 

The University invites applications from all qualified individuals. Queen’s is
committed to employment equity and diversity in the workplace and welcomes
applications from women, visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples, persons with
disabilities, and LGBTQ persons. All qualified candidates are encouraged to
apply; however, in accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, Canadian
citizens and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority. 

To comply with federal laws, the University is obliged to gather statistical
information as to how many applicants for each job vacancy are Canadian
