Job Location: Texas, USA 
Job Title: Open-rank faculty position in bilingualism
Job Rank: Open Rank

Specialty Areas: Language Acquisition; Bilingualism


Description:

The University of Texas at El Paso invites applications and nominations for
two open-rank (assistant, associate, or full professor) faculty positions.
Successful candidates will have a commitment to research and teaching in
empirical approaches to bilingualism, language acquisition, and/or bilingual
education. The candidates should have the potential to lead new research
initiatives with external funding. Applicants at the associate and full level
should have nationally/internationally recognized scholarship in the related
areas. 

Positions may be in any department or program of the University and may be
jointly appointed or affiliated with multiple departments. Responsibilities
for these faculty appointments include maintaining an active research
portfolio in bilingualism, graduate and undergraduate teaching, oversight of
student research projects, professional and scholarly activities in the area
of expertise, and service to the university and community. These positions are
tenured/tenure-track, 9-month faculty appointments with anticipated start
dates of fall 2022.

The University aspires to become a national leader in research and teaching in
bilingualism, bilingual education, and second language learning, as outlined
in the recently developed 2030 UTEP Strategic Plan. There is an existing
cluster of faculty with expertise in bilingualism research at UTEP across
three colleges and at least six departments/programs, including Psychology,
Linguistics, Speech-Language Pathology, Rehabilitation Science, Sociology and
Anthropology, and Teacher Education. Faculty have a history of collaborating
across departments in grant writing and research.

UTEP’s location directly on the U.S.-Mexico border offers unique opportunities
for research and teaching in this domain. This region has a rich distribution
of language fluency and preference, with a majority of Spanish-English
bilingual people, as well as English-speaking and Spanish-speaking monolingual
populations. The local setting offers a living laboratory for research with a
range of socio-economic status and language use contexts.

Required Qualifications:
Applicants must demonstrate excellence and leadership in research and
education commensurate with rank, and must hold an earned doctorate in areas
relevant to this call. In particular, the candidate should have the potential
to secure federally-funded research in the science of bilingualism, language
acquisition, or bilingual education. The candidate
should demonstrate a commitment to effectively work with and engage a diverse
student body.

Application Instructions:
Review of applications will begin December 31, 2021 and applications will be
accepted until the positions are filled. Please apply via the application link
below. Candidates must submit the following: 
 - letter of interest addressing how candidate meets the required
qualifications; 
 - curriculum vitae; 
 - copies of up to three publications related to research in the applicable
fields; 
 - statement on the candidates experience advancing issues of equity,
diversity, and inclusive excellence; and
 - contact information for at least three references.

Nominations and inquiries should be forwarded to:
Virginia M. Fraire, Ph.D., Vice Provost of Student Success & Strategic
Initiatives at the email address below. 

Academic rank and salary are commensurate with experience and record of
research, teaching, and service. Hiring decisions are contingent upon budget
approval.
