The Departments of English and Anthropology at the University of Alaska 
Anchorage invite applications for a joint tenure-track assistant professor 
position in anthropological linguistics, beginning August 2012. The position 
requires a PhD in anthropology, English, linguistics, or a related discipline by 
1 July 2012. Academic concentration must be in anthropological linguistics, 
linguistic anthropology, or a very closely allied subfield. We seek someone 
with a record of ethnographic fieldwork, broadly defined, who is capable of 
teaching courses in linguistics and anthropology at both the undergraduate

with a research agenda involving the circumpolar or northern Pacific Rim 
regions are particularly encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate's application 
will demonstrate a record of or commitment to research involving indigenous 
peoples. 

The position is a tripartite appointment that will involve teaching two courses 
in the Department of English and one in the Department of Anthropology each 
semester; maintaining an active research program in the field of 
specialization; and providing service to the departments, university, and 
community. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop 
new courses for both departments, and candidates are invited to address this 
in their cover letter. 

Please apply electronically at the application URL below. Be prepared to 
attach a cover letter detailing your qualifications for the position, a curriculum 
vitae, a statement of research interests (including a description of your 
approach to linguistics), a writing sample (not to exceed 30 pages), a 
teaching portfolio (including a statement of teaching philosophy, a sample 
syllabus, and a sample assignment outline), and the names and contact 
information for three professional references. Please arrange to send hard 
copies of transcripts and three recommendation letters directly to Dr. David 
Bowie at the application address below. Review of applications will begin 
immediately, but screening will continue until the position is filled, with 
applications received by 1 December 2011 receiving fullest consideration.
