University seeks a Full-Time Language Program Director. This position

Fall-Spring program.

*Responsibilities*:
The Director is responsible for providing academic leadership for both the

leadership for the two programs, including representing the CLP/TCP at the

overseeing the CLP/TCP budget in conjunction with the faculty liaison, and
for hiring and supervising staff and course instructors including doctoral
fellows, managing work schedules for CLP fellows, supervising CLP placement
testing, preparing annual reports of each program, and overseeing efforts
regarding student recruitment, and marketing. Finally, the Director will
work closely with the Program Manager, who is responsible for overseeing
the day-to-day administrative operations of the two programs.

The successful candidate may also be invited to teach one or more courses
in the Applied Linguistics & TESOL MA programs (for additional pay)
depending on qualifications.

Minimum Qualifications:


   - MA in TESOL or Applied Linguistics
   - A minimum of 5 years experience as a full time ESL instructor,
