University or Organization: University of Wisconsin Madison 
Department: Language Sciences Program
Job Location: Wisconsin, USA 
Web Address: https://langsci.wisc.edu/
Job Title: Assistant, Associate Professor, Minority Languages and Dialects
Job Rank: Asst/Assoc Professor

Specialty Areas: Applied Linguistics; General Linguistics; Sociolinguistics 

Required Language(s): AA Group

Description:

This position is a full-time, tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant
Professor level, to start August 2020.  Applications at the associate
professor level may be considered in exceptional cases. The search is for a
job candidate whose research focuses on linguistic, cognitive, developmental,
sociolinguistic, and/or educational issues associated with the use of minority
languages/dialects.

In the US, "minority language" refers to languages other than English;
"dialect" refers to distinctive variants of English spoken by communities
defined by region, racial or ethnic identity, socioeconomic status, or other
factors.

This individual will have a primary focus on a specific minority
language/dialect or family of related languages/dialects, and an interest in
the community in which the languages/dialects are spoken. Examples include
Native American languages, distinctive dialects of English such as African
American English, and languages spoken among immigrant/refugee populations
(e.g., Hmong, Vietnamese). The successful hire might also address these issues
in the context of similar issues  as they arise in other countries.  Specific
research interests may relate to social, personal, educational, and/or
cultural implications of minority language/dialect experience. We are
particularly interested in research that addresses how differences in language
background affect educational opportunity, health and well-being, and economic
advancement.

The candidate should exhibit scholarly expertise related to minority
languages/dialects, mastery of research methods relevant to their specific
research area, a demonstrated ability to conduct empirical research in the
area, and potential to obtain external research funding.

The main tenure home for this position will be Language Sciences or English
with potential joint appointments in other departments as determined by the
candidate's background and interests.

summarizing the candidate's teaching experience and philosophy (please include
both statements in the same document);
- Up to three reprints/preprints of scholarly work (please include multiple
items in the same document).

recommendation on your behalf through the application portal.
