1 Semester position in Linguistic Anthropology

[Valentina Pagliai]

Dear friends,

Please pass along the following announcement to whomever could be 
interested.


COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES, OBERLIN COLLEGE
POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT
FACULTY NON CONTINUING POSITION AVAILABLE

Assistant Professor of Anthropology

The Anthropology Department at Oberlin College invites applications for 
a half-time non-continuing faculty position in the College of Arts and 
Sciences. Appointment to this position will be for a term of either one 
semester full time or two semesters part-time, beginning in the fall of 
academic year 2006-2007, and will carry the rank of Visiting Assistant 
Professor or Visiting Instructor of Anthropology.
 
The incumbent will teach courses in the general area of linguistic 
anthropology.  The teaching obligation is three courses including 
introductory cultural anthropology and two upper level courses.  For 
the latter, we are especially interested in a candidate who is trained 
in the ethnography of speaking and/or discourse analysis, who can teach 
"Language in culture and society" and a seminar in any area related to 
linguistic anthropology, including but not limited to the study of 
language ideologies, language and power, gender and language, and 
verbal art performance.

Oberlin College values excellence in teaching and candidates must 
therefore have an outstanding record of teaching at the introductory 
and advanced levels.  While the appointee will be a linguistic 
anthropologist, we expect that his or her teaching will complement the 
four-field character of the department.

Among the qualifications required for appointment is the Ph.D. degree 
in hand expected by June, 2006.  

To be assured of consideration, a letter of application, a Curriculum 
vita, graduate academic transcripts, and the names of three referees, 
should be sent to Linda Grimm, Acting Chair, Department of 
Anthropology, 10 N. Professor St., Oberlin College, Oberlin, OH 44074,  
by March 15th, 2006. Application materials received after that date may 
be considered until the position is filled.  Salary will depend on 
qualifications and experience.

Oberlin College is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer 
with a strong institutional commitment to the development of a climate 
that supports equality of opportunity and respect of differences based 
on gender, ethnicity, disability, and sexual orientation.  Oberlin was 
the first coeducational institution to grant bachelor's degrees to 
women and historically has been a leader in the education of 
African-Americans; the college was also among the first to prohibit 
discrimination based on sexual orientation.  In that spirit, we are 
particularly interested in receiving applications from individuals who 
would contribute to the diversity of our faculty.
