Language and Literacy Faculty Positions at Georgia State University
 
Georgia State University (www.gsu.edu) invites applications for up to
three anticipated tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professors to
contribute to its newly funded initiative: Research on the Challenges to
Acquiring Language and Literacy. These anticipated positions are part of
a major new initiative to enhance existing strengths in language and
literacy at Georgia State. The focus of this initiative is research with
children and adults, with or without disabilities, who face challenges
in acquiring language and literacy. In this university-funded
initiative, more than 35 faculty members from 10 departments in the
Colleges of Arts & Sciences and Education come together to engage in
interdisciplinary research, education and practice. The initiative*s
interdisciplinary orientation includes anthropological, biological,
developmental, educational, linguistic, neurological, psychological, and
sociological approaches. 
 
We encourage applicants whose program of research addresses basic or
applied, conceptual or methodological issues concerning challenges in
the acquisition of language and literacy. We are particularly interested
in applicants who have expertise in one of the following areas:
quantitative methodology applied to intervention research,  
the socio/cultural/anthropological study of language and literacy, the
neurolinguistic neurocognitive bases of language, child language
disorders and/or learning disabilities, or the multilingual development
of children with disabilities. 
 
Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree in any of broad range of
disciplines, including, but not limited to, anthropology, applied
linguistics, communication disorders, psychology, sociology and special
education. Appointment will be made to a department in accordance to the
individual*s degree and area of expertise. Successful applicants will
be individuals who are prepared to take advantage of the
interdisciplinary collaborative research opportunities available within
the Language & Literacy Program, have a strong record of programmatic
research, obtain external grant support, and have a commitment to and
experience in the instruction of undergraduate and graduate students. We
are particularly interested in applicants whose research programs
compliment other faculty within this initiative (www.langlit.gsu.edu). 
 
Inquires may be made to Dr. Rose Sevcik (rsevcik at gsu.edu) or Dr. Paul
Alberto (spepaa at gsu.edu). Submit curriculum vitae, a brief statement of
professional goals and research interests, evidence related to teaching
interests and effectiveness, and the names and three letters of
reference either electronically to Sarah Roberts at sroberts at gsu.edu,
with the subject line *Language & Literacy Faculty Search*, or by
mail to Language & Literacy Initiative, Office of the Dean, College of
Arts & Sciences, Attn. Ms. Sarah Roberts, Georgia State University, P.O.
Box 4038, Atlanta, GA 30302-4038, USA. The review of applications will
begin December 1, 2008 and will continue until positions are filled
contingent on available funding. 
 
An offer of employment will be conditional on background verification. 
Georgia State University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Institution. Women and minorities are especially encouraged to apply.
