Assistant Professor in Applied Linguistics and Critical Assessment

Indiana University of Pennsylvania invites applications for a tenure-track 
position at the Assistant Professor level to begin Fall, 2012. We seek a 
teacher-scholar with proven expertise in critical approaches to language 
teaching and assessment. The ideal candidate is an applied linguist who 
understands and researches social and political complexities of literacy and 
can apply these to issues of assessment in second language. Teacher-
scholars who deal with multi-cultural interactions and critical approaches to 
(language) education are considered important for this position.

Knowledge of critical theory and L1 composition considered as advantages, 
as is evidence of leadership ability and grant writing ability. A proven record 
of publication is a requirement. 

Candidates must be qualified to teach doctoral, master's, and undergraduate 
courses, and must demonstrate excellence in teaching and scholarship. 
Participation in the graduate program also includes teaching graduate 
students during one five-week summer session (with additional 
compensation).  

The IUP English Department's commitment to broad faculty participation in 
the liberal studies offerings requires that all faculty are prepared to teach first-
year college writing, research writing, introductory humanities literature, as 
well as courses in language studies. Active participation in departmental 
service and student advising is also expected.

Qualifications: Ph.D. must be in hand at the time of employment. In addition 
to expertise and scholarship in the specified field, all candidates must have 
documented training and experience in teaching composition, proven 
excellence in teaching, and a demonstrated commitment to service. 
Candidates must communicate effectively and perform well during the 
interview process, which may include a teaching demonstration. All 
applicants must be work eligible.

How to Apply: Please indicate you are applying for the English faculty 
position in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Literacy. Send a letter 
of application, CV, transcripts, three current letters of recommendation, 
scholarly publication in applied linguistics and critical approaches to 
(language) education, and a one-page statement of teaching philosophy to Dr. 
Tina Perdue at the application address below.

For full consideration, completed applications are due by November 28, 2011 
and will continue until the position is filled. We plan to screen applicants by 
telephone and will be inviting candidates for campus visits in early spring 
2012.
