Job Location: Vermont, USA 
Job Title: Two-Year Visiting Faculty Position in Linguistics
Job Rank: Rank Open

Specialty Areas: Discourse Analysis; General Linguistics; Language Documentation; Sociolinguistics; Multilingualism


Description:

Bennington College seeks a visiting faculty member in linguistics for the
2022-23 and 2023-24 academic years, teaching two courses each term. Desired
specializations include, but are not limited to: language variation and
change, language documentation, multilingualism, pragmatics, and discourse
analysis. The ideal candidate will bring new content and perspectives to our
curriculum through an active research agenda and course offerings that focus
on one or more of the following: language and gender, language and ethnicity,
language and education, language and power, language and mobility. We are
especially interested in applicants who could teach courses with broad appeal
for students across the liberal arts disciplines, and who could teach
undergraduate students to gather and use data from the field. Applications
from those whose work involves languages of the Americas and/or restructured
language varieties are especially encouraged. PhD or ABD in linguistics or
adjacent field preferred.

Bennington College is a small residential liberal arts college in southern
Vermont, long distinguished for its progressive approach to higher education.
The College was founded in 1932 on the principle of active engagement in
learning, which manifests in individualized plans of study developed by
students together with faculty. Bennington’s open curricular structures
facilitate innovative teaching across traditional disciplinary boundaries, and
small class sizes enable student-centered and engaged learning within the
classroom. 

Bennington serves a student population inclusive of members of
ethnically/racially diverse, international, LGBTQIA+, and disability
communities as well as diverse gender identities, socioeconomic backgrounds,
religions, and political beliefs. Our staff and faculty also reflect diverse
and intersecting backgrounds and identities. All employees are expected to be
respectful and responsive to these differences in the service of building
community that promotes student and employee success. Each individual
(faculty, staff and student) will be accountable for upholding these values.
The College’s approach to pluralism and inclusivity—both as fields of inquiry
and practice—is to prioritize flexible thought, and to invite the examination
of access, value, power, and privilege through its institutional policies and
areas of study. We encourage applications from women and/or candidates from
traditionally underrepresented backgrounds and diverse realms of interest and
experience to apply. 

Please apply online via the application link below with: 
 - cover letter addressing qualifications for the position and capacity to
contribute toward a diverse, equitable and inclusive campus; 
 - CV, incl. contact information for three professional references; 
 - statement of teaching philosophy, incl. descriptions of three proposed
courses. 

Review of applications is ongoing, with preference given to those submitted
before May 1, 2022. This position requires the successful completion and
acceptable results of a background check.



Application Deadline: 01-May-2022 (Open until filled)
