Description:

About the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP)

Located in one of the largest binational communities in the world, UTEP is
unique among research institutions. It is an R1 Carnegie classified national
research University and ranks third among all U.S. colleges and universities
in awarding bachelor's degrees to Hispanics. UTEP enrolls more than 25,000
students. The Brookings Institution in 2017 ranked UTEP as the leading
university in equal access to higher education, based on a combination of
research productivity and student social mobility. With 172 bachelor's,
master's and doctoral degree programs available in eight colleges and schools,
UTEP is the first national research university serving a 21st century student
demographic.

The Linguistics Program within the Department of Languages & Linguistics at
The University of Texas at El Paso invites applications for a Visiting
Assistant Professor of Phonology beginning in Fall 2020.  The successful
applicant should have an active research agenda in current topics in phonology
or laboratory phonology, as well as evidence of teaching success.  Since the
graduate program offers a concentration in Hispanic Linguistics, acquaintance
with issues in Hispanic phonology is a significant plus.  This position
opening is in response to a recent retirement, so we anticipate that the
position will develop into a tenure track position in the near future. We
stand apart from other departments offering bachelors and master's degrees
because we are uniquely situated in the Borderland region of the United
States, and many of our undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and
staff are bilingual, speaking and writing in both English and Spanish. Because
of this, UTEP provides a potential goldmine of possible research topics
related to language learning, language contact, bilingualism, and the links
between language and culture. 

The Linguistics Program has active connections with other academic programs
including psychology, speech pathology, and sociology/anthropology. 
Linguistics faculty participate in UTEP’s Consortium for Scientific Research
on Bilingualism (https://research.utep.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=75980).  

Requirements:

PhD in Linguistics or Hispanic Linguistics preferred, by at least September 1,
2020. Area of Specialization in phonology. Additional expertise in some of the
following areas would be ideal: Spanish and experimental phonology,
psycholinguistics, bilingualism, Romance linguistics, historical linguistics,
language acquisition, and language variation.

Additional Information:

In keeping with its Access and Excellence mission, UTEP is committed to an
open diverse, and inclusive learning and working environment that honors the
talents, respects the differences, and nurtures the growth and development of
all.
