Semester of the academic year 2024-25. We are seeking a specialist in

and teaching. Proficiency in at least one Indigenous language of Latin
America, and experience teaching Latin American Indigenous languages,

all levels (lower- and upper-division undergraduate, and graduate),
and who can train the next generation of researchers in the study of
Indigenous languages of Latin America.

Application Instructions
Applicants must upload a letter of application, a CV, a statement
describing their research program, a statement of teaching interests
(including a list of courses that the applicant would be interested in
