Advancement (CeLTA, http://celta.msu.edu) and related Centers and
initiatives. We welcome applicants whose research would especially benefit
from collaborative opportunities in an interdisciplinary work environment.   

The successful candidate must be able to teach Ph.D. level courses in
second language psycholinguistics as well as a wide array of undergraduate
and masters' level courses in language teaching and learning. Academic
department will be determined based on candidate's qualifications.
