Description:

Carleton University's School of Linguistics & Language Studies (SLaLS) invites
applications from qualified Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit and Métis)
candidates for a tenure-track position in Linguistics with a specialization in
Language Documentation and/or Revitalization at the rank of Assistant
Professor, starting July 1, 2023.

This is an Indigenous-specific position. First Nations, Métis, and Inuit
scholars are particularly welcome but Indigenous scholars from any context are
eligible to apply.

Carleton University is strongly committed to fostering diversity within its
community as a source of excellence, cultural enrichment, and social strength.
In addition to First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, we welcome those who
would contribute to the further diversification of our University including,
but not limited to: women; visible minorities; persons with disabilities; and
persons of any sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression. In
accordance with the University’s Employment Equity Program and pursuant to the
Ontario Human Rights Code Section 14, this selection will be limited to
Indigenous peoples. Candidates from Indigenous communities and the groups
noted above are encouraged to self-identify. Carleton University acknowledges
and respects the Algonquin Anishinaabe people, traditional custodians of the
land on which the Carleton University campus is situated.

See the full position post at: 
https://carleton.ca/deputyprovost/jobs/academics/.

Linguistics at Carleton offers a BA and a BSc, with concentrations in
Linguistic Theory and Psycholinguistics & Communication Disorders. We also
offer an MA in Linguistics and a PhD in Linguistics, Language Documentation
and Revitalization. http://www.carleton.ca/slals/.

Candidates are normally expected to have a PhD in Linguistics or a related
discipline in hand or near completion. Alternatively, equivalencies such as
Indigenous community language instruction or service as an Indigenous language
holder within an Indigenous community together with teaching and scholarly
experience will also be considered. Experience with land-based learning and
community-based activities are especially relevant. Applicants must have
experience with Indigenous community-based documentation or revitalization of
Indigenous languages.

The successful candidate will demonstrate potential for independent and
collaborative research and to develop an innovative program of teaching and
research with the potential for external research funding and dissemination
through publication or research creation and will be expected to contribute
service to the School, Faculty, University, and the broader community.

The successful candidate’s research could include, but is not limited to,
Indigenous/endangered language documentation, the development of technological
tools to support Indigenous/endangered language learning and sustainability,
and/or the sociocultural dynamics of language and revitalization.

The successful candidate will demonstrate potential for outstanding teaching
contributions and be expected to offer innovative courses in Linguistics at
the undergraduate and graduate levels, including core courses in our PhD
program.

"Indigenous Language Documentation position" in the subject line.       
Please include:
 - cover letter with names of 3 referees
 - CV
 - research and teaching statements
