The selected candidate will be committed to excellence in research-integrated
teaching, program-building, and student mentoring at the undergraduate and
graduate levels, in a wide thematic range. The candidate will be able to
complement and build off of our department’s diverse strengths, spanning
comparative literature and folklore studies, theoretical and applied
linguistics, cognitive linguistics and discourse analysis. The successful
candidate will be expected to teach a range of courses from introductory to
upper level at the undergraduate level, as well as some advanced topics at the
graduate level; to demonstrate their willingness to help enhance the capacity
for interdisciplinary research and teaching at Nazarbayev University, working
with existing linguistics, anthropology and psychology faculty.

Qualifications: 
 - PhD in linguistics from an accredited and recognized international
university (ABD at the time of application will be considered, but PhD must be
in hand at the time of appointment, and current PhD holders will be given
priority);
 - An active research agenda (as evident in peer-reviewed publications or
demonstrated ability to publish immediately upon appointment);
 - Teaching experience at university level;
 - Experience in developing new courses and program curricula;
 - Experience and readiness to supervise undergraduate capstone and graduate
projects;

 - Commitment to maintaining a collegial and inclusive work environment.

domain of languages, linguistics and comparative literature. LLL has one of
the fastest growing major counts in the School. The LLL program is also
integrated into the graduate program in Eurasian Studies, interdisciplinary MA
and PhD programs, and thus, the ideal candidate for the position will have the
ability to contribute to the Eurasian Studies graduate program in teaching and
advising.

competitive compensation; housing; relocation allowance; air tickets to home
country twice per year; no-cost medical insurance with global coverage;
