Job Title: Faculty Position in Sociolinguistics at Bennington College
Job Rank: Full Professor

Specialty Areas: Sociolinguistics; Gender, ethnicity, class, African-American vernacular English


Description:

Bennington College seeks a full-time faculty member in sociolinguistics. The
ideal candidate will bring new content and perspectives to our curriculum
through an active research agenda that focuses on one or more of the
following: language and gender, language and ethnicity, African-American
vernacular English, creolization, class and language, language and education,
language and power, language and migration. We are especially interested in
applicants who could teach courses with broad appeal for students across the
liberal arts disciplines, and who could teach undergraduate students to gather
and use data from the field.

Faculty members at Bennington are teacher-practitioners whose professional
work is in ongoing dialogue with their teaching and advising. Faculty teach
five courses per year, and fully engaged student advising is an expectation.
Additionally, the successful candidate will demonstrate a commitment to
developing curriculum that invites the participation of students with a broad
range of interests.

Bennington College is a small residential liberal arts college in southern
Vermont, long distinguished for its progressive approach to higher education.
The College was founded in 1932 on the principle of active engagement in
learning, which is manifest in individualized plans of study developed by
students together with faculty. We aim to educate students towards
self-fulfillment and constructive social purposes, and we believe that equity,
diversity, and inclusivity--in community and in curriculum--are vital to
achieving those aims.

Candidates should apply online at the link below by submitting: a) letter of
application that describes teaching experience, professional work and includes
a reflection on the candidate’s potential to contribute to a diverse and
inclusive environment through teaching, research, and/or service; b)
curriculum vitae; c) teaching statement which includes a short description of
three (3) courses; and d) the names and contact information for three
references. 

In recognition of the employment challenges sometimes faced by academic
couples in small communities, the College will also consider applications to
share equally a single full-time faculty position. Applicants must each submit
an individual application and indicate in their cover letters that that they
are applying jointly.

Review of applications will begin November 1st.
