On behalf of Debra Spitulnik Vidali:

The Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Emory University invites
applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor
in Spanish sociocultural linguistics and/or linguistic anthropology,
beginning fall 2016. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. in a relevant field
(e.g., Spanish, linguistics, anthropology) by time of appointment and have
native or near-native proficiency in Spanish and English. Candidates whose
work focuses on Spanish in Latin American and/or US Latino communities will
receive special consideration, as will those whose research includes or
emphasizes qualitative/critical approaches. Possible areas of specialization
include bilingualism, language and identity (e.g., ethnicity/race, gender,
sexuality), language ideologies/attitudes, politics of language,
intercultural communication or health communication. The successful
candidate will teach two courses per semester, including undergraduate
courses in the Spanish major and a new joint major in Spanish and
Linguistics, as well as in the Spanish graduate program. S/he will also work
collaboratively with colleagues in Emory's interdisciplinary Program in
Linguistics and may also teach courses for that program.

The Department is also willing to consider candidates at more advanced
ranks.
