Description:

The Department of English Language and Literatures at the University of
British Columbia (Vancouver) invites applications for an appointment in the
field of the History of the English Language with a focus on World/Global
Englishes.

We seek to attract candidates that can engage with the theories and
methodologies currently informing the study of English Historical Linguistics
(any area, any period) but that can also engage with the global context in
which the language is (and has been) spoken. The successful candidate will be
expected to teach first- and second-year introductions to English language
study, senior undergraduate and graduate courses on the history of English and
contemporary English linguistics as well as specialised seminars and courses
in world/global Englishes. The appointment will be at the level of assistant
professor (tenure-track) with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2022.

The Department of English Language and Literatures at UBC is unique in Canada
in its ability to provide instruction and supervision in the history of the
English language, cognitive linguistics, contemporary linguistic analysis,
lexicography and the history and theory of rhetoric. The department also has a
newly revised curriculum with courses on trans-national networks, diaspora and
migration studies, Indigenous studies, critical race studies,
anti/de/post-colonial studies, global south connections, world literatures,
environmental studies and gender studies, all in conjunction with a robust
historical curriculum. 

Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. We encourage
applications from members of groups that have been marginalized on any grounds
enumerated under the B.C. Human Rights Code. Applicants are asked to include,
as part of their application materials, a separate statement describing past
experience that promotes diversity and inclusion, broadly understood and/or
plans to make future contributions to more inclusive representation of
racialized minorities in the applicant’s core discipline(s), in the academy
more broadly, and/or affiliate institution(s).

Applicants must have a PhD or provide solid indication of imminent completion.
Applicants should have publications and experience teaching at the
post-secondary level; they are expected to provide strong evidence of active
and excellent research, and demonstrate a record of, or potential for, high
quality teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Applicants should submit their applications online through the application
link below, and upload the following:
- A letter of application,
- Curriculum vitae,
- A description of current and future research interests,
- Statement of teaching philosophy,
- The one-page diversity statement referred to above,
- A sample of ongoing research preferably in the form of published material,
and
- Evidence of teaching effectiveness.

Applications and all supporting materials should be received by October 1,
2021. Applicants should also have confidential letters from three referees
sent to english.recruitment at ubc.ca by the same deadline.

Review of applications will begin soon after this date and will continue until
the position is filled.

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and
permanent residents will be given priority.
