      Position description

The Department of Communication (http://communication.ucsd.edu/) within 
the School of Social Sciences at the University of California San Diego 
is seeking to make an appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor, to 
begin Fall, 2023 in the following area:

Language and Social Justice: Our ideal candidate will have an active and 
creative research and teaching program that focuses on the relationship 
between language and struggles for social justice particularly as they 
occur around race, indigeneity, gender, disability, class and 
nationality. Also of interest is how language becomes an instrument for 
perpetuating systems of exclusion and inequality, and at the same time a 
vehicle for framing alternative visions that challenge such systems. 
Areas of specialization may include: language and globalization, 
including bilingualism and multilingualism; language and decolonization; 
language and migration; language and learning systems; language and 
media culture; multimodality; political, moral, and legal discourses 
related to language; and ecolinguistics (the relation between language 
and the environment). We are open to candidates trained in 
communication, relevant areas of linguistics (such as sociolinguistics) 
or other relevant fields.

Successful candidates will have strong methodological skills that 
augment the department’s interdisciplinary program and strengths in 
cultural and historical analysis, institutional analysis (including 
political economy), comparative analysis, ethnography and textual and 
discourse analysis, and community based participatory research. 
Candidates from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds and/or with a 
research focus on LatinX or other underrepresented language communities 
are encouraged to apply.

The Department of Communication and the University of California San 
Diego are committed to academic excellence and diversity within the 
faculty, staff, and student body. We seek candidates who will maintain 
the highest standards of scholarship and professional activity and make 
a strong and meaningful contribution to the development of a campus 
climate that supports equality and diversity.
