Description:

The School of Modern Languages at the Georgia Institute of Technology in
Atlanta invites applications for a tenure-track positions at the rank of
Assistant Professor to begin on August 1, 2021. We are seeking specializations
in Chinese linguistics. The position is full-time with an expected teaching
load of two courses per semester (four per academic year).

An ideal candidate for the position oriented toward Chinese Linguistics will
bring expertise in applied Chinese linguistics, computational and cognitive
linguistics, and holistic multi-variable Chinese language pedagogy, including
for multilingual learners (beginning to advanced), heritage speakers, and
native speakers. Interest or expertise in one or more of the following areas
is recommended: cybersecurity, ethics, inter- and cross-cultural studies,
science and technology studies, and translation and interpretation. The
candidate will be eligible for consideration for a leadership opportunity to
lead and develop graduate programming especially as part of the M.S. in
Applied Languages & Intercultural Studies and PhD minors bridging fields such
as computing, cybersecurity, engineering, and psychology.

We seek candidates who bring an ambitious and entrepreneurial scholarly agenda
and who have demonstrated experience with innovative curriculum development in
applied and cross-cultural language studies, media studies, and linguistics.
Interest or experience in teaching in an immersive faculty-led study-abroad
program oriented toward business, technology, culture, and sustainability is
highly recommended.

We seek colleagues with a commitment to collegiality, to the enhancement and
expansion of the program as a whole and graduate studies in particular, and to
extracurricular activities that serve our diverse student body. Experience or
interest in teaching and developing online courses is recommended, but not
required.

The successful candidates will have:
- A PhD in Chinese or a related field earned by the appointment start date of
August 1, 2021;
- Native or near native proficiency in Chinese;
- An active research and publication agenda; and
- Documented evidence of successful instruction and teaching of Chinese, from
introductory to advanced levels. 

An earned doctorate is required by the start of the appointment, and a
background check must be completed prior to employment.

Applicants should submit:
- A letter of application,
- Curriculum vitae,
- Portfolio that includes a description of research interests,
- A statement of teaching philosophy,
- A writing sample (preferably recently published), and
- Names and contact information for at least three references. Finalists will
be asked to submit original transcripts from their PhD-granting institution
reflecting degree conferral date.

Virtual semi-finalist interviews are expected to be conducted last week of
March 2021, with finalist interviews planned for the month of April 2021.
