University of Maryland, Baltimore County



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

            Media, multiliteracies, or globalized communication

            Identity, culture, ethnicity, race or area studies

Major responsibilities include teaching core and seminar courses,
research, academic advising, and chairing and serving on Ph.D.
dissertation committees.



Since its beginning in 1998, the program has awarded 45 Ph.D.s, and it
currently has over 60 students. Through courses and seminars,
internships and research, students in the program investigate ways in
which social structure, social and cultural assumptions, and language
use affect interactions among members of different social and cultural
groups and impact upon educational and training programs,
communications systems, and public policy formulation.
