professor
of French linguistics, beginning fall 2008. We are looking for

courses in French linguistics. Candidates must have expertise in at  
least
two of the following areas: sociolinguistics; linguistic ideologies;
language planning and policy; socio-politics of French in the world;
history of French; language and identity; translation; or second- 
language
acquisition/pedagogy. Candidates should demonstrate an active research
agenda with ability to work across disciplines, and a strong

must be in-hand at time of appointment. Native or near-native fluency in
French is necessary.

Faculty members in the department of modern and classical languages are
integrated into other interdisciplinary programs on campus such as

media studies. The French section offers major, minor, and master's  
degree
programs. The department also offers undergraduate and master's degree
programs in Spanish, minors in six other languages, and courses in four
additional languages. George Mason University, located near Washington,
D.C., is a dynamic and growing institution with opportunities for the
development of exciting projects.

Consideration of applications will begin on October 25, 2007, and will
continue until the position is filled. Please submit a cover letter, CV,
statement of teaching philosophy, and the names and contact information
for three individuals who can later be contacted for letters of
recommendation. George Mason University is an equal opportunity employer
encouraging diversity.
