About the position:

The English Department seeks a candidate with a Ph.D. in Linguistics with a

positive communication across multiple dimensions of diversity, including, but
not limited to, race, gender, physical limitations, class, or religious
perspectives.
 
Faculty responsibilities and resources:

Faculty members typically teach three courses in each of the fall and spring
semesters, as well as a January interim course.  They are expected to pursue
an active scholarship agenda, to advise undergraduate students, and to serve
on college and departmental committees.

Calvin College seeks faculty members who affirm the Christian faith as
expressed by the Reformed confessions and who have academic and personal
qualifications for teaching and scholarship. Calvin is building a tradition of
diversity and accessibility and welcomes applications from persons whose
personal characteristics will further that commitment. Calvin College does not
discriminate in the employment of individuals on the basis of race, color,
national or ethnic origin, disability, sex, or age. Calvin College is an
educational agency of the Christian Reformed Church and, in compliance with
