Description:

Organizational Unit Overview: 
The Department of English at ECU s a vibrant and energetic community of
teachers, scholars, researchers, and writers. The diversity of this department
is one of its strengths, and our majors benefit from a breadth of faculty
expertise across many areas of study. Our faculty and students pursue
interests and scholarship in literature, creative writing, technical and
professional communication, rhetoric and composition, multicultural and
transnational literature, folklore, film studies, linguistics, and Teaching
English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). Our department offers four
degrees: a B.A. in English; a B.S. in Professional Writing and Information
Design; an M.A. in English; and a Ph.D. in Rhetoric, Writing, and Professional
Communication. The department also offers four undergraduate minors, including
an interdisciplinary Linguistic Minor, and various certificates, including
undergraduate and graduate certificates in TESOL. The department also supports
general education for all majors across the university through Writing
Foundations courses and courses that contribute to writing intensive,
diversity, humanities, and social science general education requirements. The
Department of English works closely with other departments whose degree
programs include our courses. East Carolina University (http://www.ecu.edu/),
a member of the 17-campus University of North Carolina System, is classified
as a Doctoral/Research-Intensive University and enrolls around 28,000
students, with over 5,500 pursuing graduate and professional degrees. 

Our Commitment to Diversity: 
The Department of English embraces and celebrates diversity and strives to
create a supportive and nurturing environment for students, faculty, and staff
of all perspectives, abilities, ethnicities, and gender identities. We
strongly encourage applications from people identifying as members of
under-represented groups.

Job Duties: 
The Department of English seeks applications for the position of Assistant
Professor in linguistics to begin in August 2023. This is a 9-month-per-year
tenure-track faculty position. Linguistics faculty in the English Department
teach courses in the English MA, English BA, Professional Writing and
Information Design BS, and Linguistics minor, as well as in the graduate and
undergraduate certificate programs in TESOL. Linguistics courses also support
students in other majors and minors in the Department of Foreign Language and
Literatures and the College of Education, among others. Some undergraduate
courses in linguistics also attract and are open to other majors. Tenure-track
faculty are further expected to conduct research in their disciplines and to
participate in service for the benefit of the department, the institution, and
the larger disciplinary community.

Contingent upon available funds.
