This is a full-time, tenure-track position. Applicants must have a PhD in

documentation and description, variationist sociolinguistics, language
acquisition, and laboratory phonology. Willingness to adapt research and
teaching program to the needs of the department will be considered.

New Mexico is one of the most multilingual and multicultural states in the
U.S. UNM is located in the heart of Albuquerque, which has cultural, outdoor
and recreational opportunities for everyone.  

Building a diverse faculty committed to teaching and working in a
multicultural environment is a core value at UNM. Applicants are required to
submit a diversity statement discussing how their research, teaching, service,
and/or outreach activities will help UNM advance equity and inclusion.
Applicants are welcome to submit a statement about the impact of COVID on
their career, either as supplementary materials or embedded in other
