*Subject: Visiting positions in linguistics & sociolinguistics
*
I am writing as Director of the Linguistics Program at the College of 
William and Mary (Williamsburg, Virginia).  We have a thriving 
linguistics program, with four full-time faculty and currently more than 
50 undergraduate linguistic majors. 

One of our linguistics faculty, Jack Martin, is to be chair of the 
English Department for the next 3 years; I will have a residency 
fellowship at the National Humanities Center next year. We are therefore 
looking for two, full-year-full-benefits visiting assistant professors 
for next year (2006-07).  One of these must be qualified to teach a 
first-level phonetics & phonology course; the other should be qualified 
to teach first-level courses in sociolinguistics and the history of the 
English language.  The official announcements of the openings are copied 
below.

Could I ask you please to make our openings known to any of your current 
or recent graduate students who are qualified in one of these fields?  
We will begin reviewing applications (which should be submitted 
electronically toklobri at wm.edu) next week and hope to have filled the 
openings towards the end of April.  The William and Mary linguistics 
faculty, Ann Reed, Jack Martin, Anne Charity and I, would be most 
grateful for your assistance in this initial stage of our search process. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Tolly
