Description:

Gallaudet's Department of Linguistics is unique in its focus on both spoken
and signed languages, particularly American Sign Language. The innovative
research carried out by the linguistics faculty and students is advancing
global knowledge of the structure and use of sign languages. ASL is not only
the subject of faculty and student research, but also the language of
communication in the classroom. Students in the department gain a broad
understanding of language with a specialist's understanding of ASL. The
master's program prepares students for work in fields such as language
teaching, interpreter education, language planning, bilingual education and
language assessment. Students who complete the M.A. program may apply to the
department's Ph.D. program to pursue advanced studies in a range of
theoretical and applied areas related to sign language.

Responsibilities:
- Teach graduate courses in the MA and PhD programs in Linguistics.
- Teach undergraduate courses in the undergraduate minor in Linguistics. 
- Advise and supervise undergraduate and graduate students in Linguistics.
- Engage in scholarship and/or research in the field and generate external
funding for research and student support.
- Participate in development, assessment, and revision of programs in
Linguistics, including online and certification courses/programs.
- Participate in program, department, and university faculty activities and
professional service.
- Other duties as assigned by the department chair.

Qualifications:
- Experience and demonstrated excellence in teaching linguistics.
- Ph.D. in Linguistics or a closely related field. To be considered for tenure
at Gallaudet University, a candidate must possess a terminal degree;
outstanding applicants in dissertation stage may considered.
- Competence in American Sign Language is required. Applicants new at ASL will
be required to learn the language and demonstrate competence as stipulated in
the Faculty Handbook. Support for learning ASL includes ASL classes, tutoring
and gatherings.
- Record of (or clear potential for) research and scholarship in signed
language linguistics and demonstrated success or clear potential for
generating external funding for research.

Gallaudet University serves deaf, hard of hearing and hearing students from
many different backgrounds and seeks to develop a workforce that reflects the

opportunity/affirmative action employer and actively encourages applications

traditionally underrepresented groups, people with disabilities, women, and
