Apologies for any cross postings:

Assistant Professor, Linguistic Anthropology

Position Announcement

 

The Department of Anthropology at Binghamton University (SUNY) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in Linguistic Anthropology to begin in Fall 2015.

The Department seeks a linguistic anthropologist who takes a semiotic approach to language and power as they relate to micro/macro political processes focusing on cultural belonging and citizenship. Of special interest is scholarship in one or more of the following areas: linguistic citizenship, participatory democracy, sociolinguistics, language and ideology, language endangerment, and/or language and gender/class/ethnicity.

The successful applicant will teach undergraduate and graduate courses as required by the Department, including introductory core courses and advanced seminars; contribute to the Harpur College of Arts and Sciences’ Linguistics Program; advise students; and engage in scholarship and service. This position will contribute to the University's transdisciplinary area of excellence (TAE) in Citizenship, Rights, and Cultural Belonging. The TAE program seeks to build on several key existing strengths across departments at Binghamton University. This TAE focuses on claims to citizenship, rights, and cultural belonging, as well as the conflicts that these claims often create. Two members of the TAE committee will join departmental colleagues on the search committee. More information can be found at http://www.binghamton.edu/academics/provost/tae2013.html.

Applicants must have a PhD in hand, extensive ethnographic field experience, demonstrated teaching experience, and publications. Applicant interests should complement existing strengths in the department, particularly those of our sociocultural anthropology program.

To ensure consideration, applications should be received by December 9, 2014. Formal review of applications will begin in December 2014 and continue until the position is filled. Applications consisting of a cover letter addressing teaching and research experience, a curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references must be sent electronically by visiting http://Binghamton.interviewexchange.com. In addition, hard copies should be sent to: Chair, Linguistic Anthropology Search Committee, Department of Anthropology, Binghamton University, P.O. Box 6000, Binghamton, NY 13902-6000. Questions about the position may be directed to: anthsrc2 at binghamton.edu.

 

Binghamton University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
