Description:

American Sign Language (ASL) Linguistics at Syracuse University.

The Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics, in the College of
Arts and Sciences, and the Department of Teaching and Leadership, in the
School of Education at Syracuse University invite applications for a full time
tenure-track or tenured position in American Sign Language to develop a
program in American Sign Language, as rooted in the linguistic program in
Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics and inclusive education in the School
of Education beginning Spring 2020 semester.

The successful candidate is expected to pursue an exceptional program of
research driven by a strong theoretical foundation to understand the human
capacity for language in a non-auditory, gesture-based modality. The candidate
will have a research program that uses rigorous methods of linguistic
analysis. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from
candidates who use formal grammar in their research of sign languages, with a
specialization in ASL.

The candidate will be expected to contribute to the Linguistic Studies Program
at Syracuse University, as well as the Inclusive Education and Disability
Studies programs in the School of Education. This hire will add depth and
breadth to Syracuse University’s strong research emphasis in the domains of
general linguistics, ASL, inclusive education, and disability studies.

The candidates will show evidence of:
- High quality scholarship and the potential to build a vigorous program of
funded research, 
- Teaching qualifications at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and 
- Promise of excellence in engaging graduate and undergraduate students in
research. 

Responsibilities include maintaining an active program of research, teaching
and advising at the graduate and undergraduate levels, and service to the
university.

Applicants for the position should have a Ph.D. in an area of linguistics and
specialization in, or experience with, American Sign Language. Additional
expertise in one or more related fields, such as another sign language,
acquisition of a sign language, psycholinguistics, inclusive education, or
disability studies, is strongly preferred. Competence in ASL will be an asset.

Information about the departments may be found at http://lll.syr.edu/ and
https://soe.syr.edu/departments/academic/teaching-leadership/, and about
disability studies programs at https://soe.syr.edu/disability-studies/.

For full consideration, please complete a brief online faculty application at
the application link provided below, and attach the following: 
- Cover letter; 
- Curriculum vitae; 
- Research statement, 
- Teaching statement; 
- Diversity statement; 
- Single representative paper; 
- List of three references to provide letters of recommendations through the
online portal system. 

Deadline to submit application is September 30, 2019. No phone inquiries
please. Salary is competitive.

apply.
