Description:

Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Anticipated Faculty Position in Forensic Linguistics

Hofstra University is seeking to fill an anticipated tenure-track position at the 
Assistant Professor level in Linguistics with a specialty in Forensic 
Linguistics.

Hofstra's graduate program in "Linguistics: Forensic Linguistics" is unique in 
the Americas. Its aim is to instruct students in the science of linguistics, and 
train them in practical applications of linguistic theory and research to 
analytical problems, specifically in the legal arena. In addition to teaching 
some of the core linguistic tools of phonology, morphology, syntax, 
semantics, sociolinguistics, dialectology and discourse analysis, the program 
includes specific training in the practical application of these tools to legal 
investigations, trials, analysis of contracts, statutes, etc. Thus, the program 
teaches linguistics, and as much as possible, the language data used for 
instruction are forensic. The program, currently offering the M.A., prepares 
students to continue on for a Ph.D. in theoretical or applied linguistics or a 
related field; or for public and private sector employment in the United States 
and internationally in careers relating to or associated with law, law 
enforcement, and the forensic sciences. 

Candidates should have the Ph.D. in hand, and a strong record 
demonstrating:
-  Excellence in research, teaching, and overseeing research at the 
undergraduate and graduate levels
-  Publications and presentations that demonstrate mastery of theoretical 
linguistics, especially sociolinguistics and other sub disciplines appropriate to 
forensic linguistics case work
-  The ability to effectively apply current linguistic theory, research, and 
methods to real-world legal cases, as demonstrated by extensive forensic 
linguistic case experience, ideally in both civil and criminal courts, for either 
the prosecution or the defense

The successful candidate will, further, be expected to participate in the 
research projects of the Hofstra University Institute for Forensic Linguistics, 
Threat Assessment and Strategic Analysis, which largely focus on corpus 
construction, threat assessment and law enforcement and therefore training, 
experience and publications in corpus linguistics is desirable, as would be 
training in forensics.

Hofstra University is an equal opportunity employer, committed to fostering 
diversity in its faculty, administrative staff and student body, and encourages 
applications from the entire spectrum of a diverse community.
