Description:

The Department of Linguistics and Language Development at San José State
University is pleased to announce a position in Syntax / Semantics at the rank
of Assistant Professor. SJSU is the only CSU campus in northern California
with a dedicated linguistics department, founded in 1991. Situated in the Bay
Area—among the most diverse regions in the world—the Department is committed
to fostering understandings of language structure and use in the context of an
increasingly multicultural and technological society. The Department is
further dedicated to exploring societal inequities, how language contributes
to those, and how such inequities may be alleviated through research,
scholarship, and practice. Find out more about our department at
https://www.sjsu.edu/linguistics/.

The Department offers a bachelor’s degree in linguistics, an MA in
linguistics, and a MA in TESOL. We are also currently developing a master’s of
science degree program in computational linguistics.

The Department of Linguistics and Language Development and San José State
University value diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Our excellence
in research, teaching, and service can only be fully realized by faculty,
students, and staff who share our commitment to these values. SJSU enrolls
more than 36,000 students, many of whom are historically underserved, and
around 45% are first-generation and 38% are Pell-recipients. SJSU is a
Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and Asian American and Native American
Pacific Islander (AANAPISI) Serving Institution. The university’s commitment
to social justice extends from its vibrant, inclusive campus to an
international network of over 275,000 alumni. As such, San José State is
committed to increasing the diversity of its faculty so our disciplines,
students, and the community can benefit from multiple ethnic and gender
perspectives. 

Successful candidates will demonstrate evidence of a commitment to equity and
inclusion through their research, teaching, and/or service. We ask that all
applicants include a Diversity Statement with their application package. A
guide to writing this statement can be found at SJSU Diversity Statement
Guidelines, along with information about how these statements will be
evaluated.

Required Qualifications: 
 - Ph.D in linguistics or a related field by the time of appointment
 - Demonstrated ability to teach courses and conduct research in syntax /
semantics
 - Strong commitment to teamwork and collegiality
 - Demonstrated awareness of and sensitivity to the educational goals of a
multicultural population as might have been gained in cross-cultural study,
training, teaching and other comparable experience

Preferred Qualifications: 
 - Ability to teach a variety of approaches to linguistics, as well as some
commonly used in computational linguistics
 - Experience in designing and developing graduate level courses and programs
 - Evidence of both undergraduate and graduate mentoring
 - Ability to seek and secure grant funding
 - Commitment to collaboration within and across institutional contexts
 - Experience working with Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and other racially
minoritized students in the classroom, and an understanding of how historical
patterns of exclusion of these groups within higher education and the field of
Linguistics shape patterns of participation and outcomes
