The Department of English Language and Literatures at the University of

the following areas is highly desirable:  
- World Englishes or Global Englishes, 
- Corpus linguistics, 
- Cognitive linguistics, 
- Pragmatics, and/or 
- Stylistics.

The Department offers three undergraduate Majors streams: in English
Literature, in English Language, and in a new, combined program in Language
and Literature. The Language program covers history and structure of English
as well as studies in rhetoric and discourse. The Department is engaged in an
ongoing program of curriculum renewal, and welcomes applicants with innovative
ideas about undergraduate and graduate courses in Language and in the combined
Language/ Literature emphasis.

The Department is committed to equity and diversity. Applicants are asked to
include, as part of their application materials, a separate statement
describing past experience in activities that promote diversity and inclusion,
broadly understood, and/or plans to make future contributions.

Applicants must have a PhD (or provide solid indication of imminent
completion), publications, and experience teaching at the post-secondary
level; they are expected to provide strong evidence of active and excellent
research, and demonstrate a record of, or potential for, high quality teaching
at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The successful candidate will be
expected to maintain an active program of research, teaching, graduate
supervision, and service.

Applicants should apply through the UBC Faculty careers website, at the
application link below, by October 15, 2018 and they must be prepared to
upload (in the following order): 
- A letter of application, 
- A current CV containing full contact information, 
- Evidence of teaching effectiveness (such as evaluations and/ or peer
reviews; 
- Complete teaching dossiers are not requested at this stage), 
- The diversity statement described above, and 
- An example of their published research. 
In addition, applicants should arrange for three confidential letters of
reference to be forwarded by the same deadline via email attachment to
english.recruitment at ubc.ca. 

Position start date: 
July 1, 2019. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
This position is subject to final budgetary approval. Please consult the
departmental website for details on our programs, faculty, and activities:
www.english.ubc.ca. 

Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. An open and diverse
community fosters the inclusion of voices that have been underrepresented or
discouraged. We encourage applications from members of groups that have been
marginalized on any grounds enumerated under the B.C. Human Rights Code,
including sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression,
racialization, disability, political belief, religion, marital or family
status, age, and/or status as a First Nation, Métis, Inuit, or Indigenous
person. 

All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and
permanent residents will be given priority.
