The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. or A.B.D. in Linguistics with a

A faculty member of Calvin College commits to the Christian faith and to the
integration of faith, learning, and student development; and to the
educational mission of Calvin College as a Christian liberal arts college
affiliated with the Christian Reformed Church.

Diversity Commitment:
A faculty member of Calvin College commits to establish relationships and
positive communication across multiple dimensions of diversity, including, but
not limited to, race, gender, physical limitations, class, or religious
perspectives. 

Affiliate faculty members typically teach three courses in each of the fall
and spring semesters, as well as a January interim course.  They are
encouraged to pursue an active scholarship agenda, and to serve on college and
departmental committees.

Calvin College is a top-ranked liberal arts college that equips students to
think deeply, to act justly, and to live wholeheartedly as Christ’s agents of
renewal in the world.  Approximately 3,800 Calvin students study the liberal
arts and select from a broad range of majors and professional programs.  The
college is located in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in a thriving metropolitan
region of approximately one million people situated equidistant from Chicago
and Detroit.

Calvin College seeks faculty members who affirm the Christian faith as
expressed by the Reformed confessions and who have academic and personal
qualifications for teaching and scholarship. Calvin is building a tradition of
diversity and accessibility and welcomes applications from persons whose
personal characteristics will further that commitment. Calvin College does not
discriminate in the employment of individuals on the basis of race, color,
national or ethnic origin, disability, sex, or age. Calvin College is an
educational agency of the Christian Reformed Church and, in compliance with
Title VII and other applicable law, reserves the right to give preference in
employment based upon religion. Further specifics are posted on the college
website: http://www.calvin.edu/go/facultyopenings.
