The interdisciplinary Language, Literacy and Culture (LLC) Ph.D. Program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) invites applications for a tenured Associate Professor beginning August 23, 2011. LLC is an interdisciplinary program of study of language, culture, human interaction and communication with faculty from seven departments: Africana Studies; American Studies; Education; English; Gender and Women's Studies; Modern Languages, Linguistics and Intercultural Communication; and Sociology and Anthropology. 

            

Applicants must have an earned doctorate in one of the participating disciplines or a closely related field, administrative experience, and a successful research and teaching agenda in one of the following areas:
