Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign is searching for a full-time tenure stream Assistant or
Associate Professor who can contribute to the growing demand in our
Sociolinguistics and TESL programs through an active research profile in
sociolinguistics of globalization understood in a broad and inclusive sense.

We are interested in scholars active in the areas of sociolinguistics,
multilingualism, and/or Indigenous/minority languages/dialects in the U.S.,
with a strong TESL background. The candidate will help train students in the
MATESL program, the BA in Linguistics and TESL launched in Fall 21, as well as
the undergraduate and graduate programs in Linguistics. We are seeking a
scholar who has demonstrated promise for a vibrant research program,
disciplinary and interdisciplinary collaboration, and has a proven record of
student mentoring and teaching.

The candidate will teach graduate and undergraduate courses, supervise student
research, and develop a high-impact research program. They will be able to
develop and teach courses in areas such as the sociolinguistics of
multilingualism, language in globalization, language minorities, linguistic
diversity in the US, World Englishes, and language in social media. The
candidate will also teach courses in the core MATESL curriculum, preferably a
course on the theoretical foundations, and essential methodologies and
technologies needed to train graduate students to engage the paradigm of World
Englishes in TESL.

The candidate must have a Ph.D. in Linguistics, Applied Linguistics,
Sociolinguistics, Second Language Studies, or a related field. The candidate
should have a strong background in Sociolinguistics and TESL. An MA in TESL or
related field is strongly preferred. Candidates should have a demonstrated
record of excellence in undergraduate and/or graduate teaching, and an
independent research program by the targeted start date, which is August 16,
2022. Salary is commensurate with rank and qualiﬁcations.

The Department of Linguistics is a vibrant and comprehensive department with
about 200 undergraduate majors, 70 graduate students, 17 tenure-stream and
more than 30 teaching/specialized faculty members. Together we represent a
broad spectrum of research interests and boast highly successful pedagogy
programs in ESL and the Less Commonly Taught Languages.

Candidates with a documented commitment to working with students or faculty
from groups historically marginalized or underrepresented in the field through
teaching, mentoring, or administration are especially encouraged to apply.
