================================================================  

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/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Teaching (ESL/FL)

The Program in English Language/Linguistics in the Department of English,
University of Arizona, invites applications for a full-time tenure-track
position of Assistant Professor in the field of instructional technology in
language teaching, to begin August 2008. The selected candidate will teach

the undergraduate level as appropriate. (All EL/L faculty also serve in the
SLAT program.) The individual selected will be expected to conduct an
active program of professional research and publication, and contribute to
the Department's commitment to University and community service.

Given the strongly multicultural and multilingual nature of our program, we
expect to attract candidates with experience and interest in working with
diverse students, colleagues, and communities. We particularly encourage
applications from women and underrepresented minorities. The Department is
located within the College of Humanities, which also includes Africana
Studies and East Asian Studies, as well as other language departments. The
University of Arizona aims to be a Hispanic-serving institution, and the
English Department and the EL/L program seek to expand our work with
underrepresented cultures and underserved constituencies.

Additional Minimum Qualifications:
- Knowledge of instructional design, Web 2.0 applications, web development
tools as applicable to computer-mediated language teaching
- Evidence of a promising trajectory in research and publication
- PhD by August 2008

Preferred qualifications:
- Knowledge of tools such as Flash, Dreamweaver, Javascript/Java
- Language teaching experience (desirably but not essentially English as a
Second Language)
- or familiarity with issues in language assessment and testing 
- Multicultural experience
