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.

Description:

The Department of English at Baylor University invites applications for the

carries the rank of associate or full professor. Applicants should have an
excellent record of scholarly achievement and administrative experience.
Additional experience obtaining external funding is a plus. The successful
applicant will be a nationally-recognized scholar, will be committed to
excellence in both undergraduate and graduate teaching, and will strongly
support Baylor's Christian identity and mission (www.baylor.edu/vision/).
The area of research is open.

Chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas, Baylor University is the oldest
university in Texas and the world's largest Baptist University. Baylor's
mission is to educate men and women for worldwide leadership and service by
integrating academic excellence and Christian commitment within a caring
community. Baylor is actively recruiting new faculty with a strong
commitment to the classroom and an equally strong commitment to discovering
new knowledge as Baylor aspires to become a top tier research university
while reaffirming and strengthening its distinctive Christian mission as
described in Baylor 2012.

Each applicant should send a current curriculum vitae and a statement of
interest outlining his/her administrative philosophy and goals for the
department. He/she should be available for an expense-paid airport
interview on 6 December 2008 (Dallas-Ft. Worth airport). Applicants should
also arrange to have three recent letters of reference and transcripts sent
directly to the search committee. A standard background check is also
required. For full consideration, applications must be received by 3
November 2008. Review of applications will begin on 4 November 2008, and
will continue until the search is completed.

Baylor University has approximately 14,000 students. The department has 44
full-time faculty members and offers three degrees - BA in English
Literature, Professional Writing, or Linguistics; MA in English; and the
PhD in English Literature or Religion and Literature (the latter a
concentration, not a degree program). The university provides generous
benefits for qualified family members. To learn more about this position,
