The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to use
non-discriminatory standards in hiring policy. In particular we urge
that employers do not discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity,
nationality, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we
have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobnet.html.

University or Organization: University of California, San Diego
Rank of Job: Assistant Professor
Specialty Areas Required: General Linguistics

Description:

Assistant Professor: Heritage Language Linguistics

Position: The Department of Linguistics at the University of
California, San Diego has a job opening for a tenure-track position in
the linguistics of heritage languages. The term "heritage language"
denotes a language other than English that is associated with an
individual's ethnic or cultural background and a "heritage speaker" is
someone who speaks or understands a language (other than English) that
was spoken at home. This position is part of a new interdisciplinary
initiative in the Social Sciences and Humanities addressing
linguistic, ethnic, and cultural diversity in California (the
California Cultures in Comparative Perspective Initiative,
http://weber.ucsd.edu/misc/cccp.shtml).

Qualifications: The successful applicant should have a strong
background in linguistic theory and a research focus on one or more of
the heritage languages of California (including Arabic, Cambodian,
Cantonese/Mandarin, Hmong, Japanese, Korean, Native American languages
of California, Persian, Somali, Spanish, Tagalog, Vietnamese, and
others); native fluency in any of these languages is not required.

The applicant's overall research program should interface with the
main emphasis of the department on combining current theoretical
research in linguistics with experimental research in areas such as
computational linguistics, language and brain, phonetics, language
variation, and first or second language acquisition. (For more
information, please visit http://ling.ucsd.edu/.)

As part of their service to the department, the successful applicant
will be expected to develop and help direct a program in the teaching
of heritage languages, under the auspices of the department's
Linguistics Language Program (http://ling.ucsd.edu/Language/llp.htm).
The candidate should have a Ph.D. in linguistics at the time of
appointment.
