Description:

Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Applied Linguistics
Department of English, Wheaton College, Norton, MA
Duration: 2 years
Teaching Load: 3 courses per year
Salary: $50,000 + benefits + research stipend. 
  
Wheaton College, a highly selective liberal arts college in Norton, 
Massachusetts, invites applications for a two-year Andrew W. Mellon Post-
Doctoral Fellowship in Applied Linguistics, to begin Fall, 2012. We seek a 
colleague with a PhD in Linguistics or a related field who is interested in 
joining the English department of a small liberal arts college and who can 
enrich our curriculum with contemporary perspectives and new research. 
Over the two-year appointment the Mellon Fellow will teach two sections of 
first-year writing and four linguistics courses (3 courses per year). One 
course, which will be taught both years, will be on Global Englishes. The 
others may be on Structure and Grammar of English, the History of the 
English Language, or other topics in applied linguistics that will help our 
students develop as scholars, writers and teachers of writing. The design of 
individual courses is left to the Fellow, although the department mentor can 
assist with course development. Fellows are expected to participate in the 
life of the department and are encouraged both to make connections 
across the curriculum and to participate in trans-disciplinary research that 
links English, Mathematics, Computer Science, Psychology, Anthropology 
and Modern Languages. 

Fellows are allocated salaries of $50,000 with full benefits and additional 
research funds as well as inter- and intra-departmental mentoring. 
Applications are due by March 15, 2012; early applications are 
encouraged. We anticipate that interviews will be conducted via Skype. 
Candidates must apply on line at the application URL below. 
          
Wheaton College seeks educational excellence through diversity and 
strongly encourages applications from women and men of minority groups.
Inquiries may be sent to Professor Lisa Lebduska, Director of College 
Writing, at the email address below.
