Job Description

The Department of English in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Applied Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). We seek a faculty member who specializes in at least one of the following areas: the use of AI and language-generating technologies in first- and second- language learning, teaching, or assessment; linguistics-based qualitative and quantitative research on the humanlike language generated by AI; the study of generative AI in human-computer language interaction; or the role of language in the subjective experience of generative AI users. The ideal applicant will have an established or emerging research agenda focusing on AI with expertise relevant to natural language processing (NLP), generative AI, applied linguistics, or a related area. We are especially interested in scholars who are using AI in innovative ways in applied linguistics.

At the undergraduate level, the faculty member will teach general courses in linguistics and applied linguistics, courses that serve as electives in the university’s minor in Applied Artificial Intelligence, and new course offerings that integrate AI technologies into linguistics. At the graduate level, the faculty member will have the opportunity to teach courses in applied linguistics and technology, and may contribute to interdisciplinary programs such as Human Computer Interaction, depending on area of specialization. Potential graduate courses include seminars on AI-assisted technologies and generative AI for language learning and assessment, language-based analytics, automated dialogue systems, and speech-driven user interfaces, as well as courses on programming for NLP, computational and/or corpus-based text analysis, statistical analysis of language, or other areas related to the candidate’s expertise.

The successful candidate will join a community of faculty in applied linguistics who are exploring the uses and implications of AI in the field. This faculty member will strengthen cross-disciplinary efforts in an area of excellence in the Department of English—the use of technology for teaching, assessing, and researching language. In addition, the faculty member will have opportunities to forge connections with faculty from other department programs specializing in AI, as well as contribute to campus-wide strategic initiatives related to trusted innovation and artificial intelligence.

The position begins August 16, 2027.
