Description:

The Department of Linguistics at The University of British Columbia
(Vancouver) invites applications for a Lecturer position in Speech Sciences
commencing September 1, 2020.

This is a part-time position (0.75 FTE) for a term of three years, which
entails a probationary first year. Lecturer positions are appointments without
review (i.e. non-tenure track), renewable for successive terms, subject to
availability of funds and demonstration of excellence in teaching and service,
in accordance with the Collective Agreement between UBC and the UBC Faculty
Association. The workload for the Lecturer position includes teaching plus
service. 

A full-time Lecturer in the Faculty of Arts is responsible for 24 teaching
credits (i.e., eight 3-credit courses) and service assignments, based on a 3-3
load in the Winter sessions and 2 courses in the Summer sessions. In cases
where extraordinary additional administrative responsibilities are assigned by
the Head, a 3-credit teaching reduction may be granted. For the 2020-2021
year, this position is expected to teach 18 credits (six 3-credit courses),
based on a 2-3 load in the Winter session, and 1 course in a Summer session.
This position is also expected to support course and curriculum (re)design
activities within the department. 

Candidates must have a Ph.D. in Linguistics and are expected to demonstrate a
record of high-quality teaching at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
Experience teaching both large and small courses in a linguistics department
is strongly preferred. Successful applicants must provide evidence of
excellent teaching ability and a strong track record of full participation in
team work and program affairs, and have the ability to engage with diverse
student populations and ability to contribute, through teaching and/or
service, to the diversity and excellence of the academic community. Training
and experience in computer-assisted teaching, community-based learning,
student-centered learning, task-based instruction, and curriculum development
is an asset. The successful candidates will be expected to maintain an
excellent record of teaching, active engagement in professional development
and curriculum design/development of teaching materials, as well as fully
participate in department affairs and service. 

The ideal candidate should be able to teach introductory or general
linguistics courses as well as undergraduate and graduate courses in at least
three of the four following areas: 
- Experimental phonetics,
- Statistics and research methods for linguistics, acoustic, and articulatory
phonetics,
- Clinical speech science.

A candidate who is a native/fluent speaker-linguist of a less-studied
language, or who has substantial field expertise with a language of Asia would
be additionally preferred.

Applicants are asked to provide:
- A letter of application,
- A curriculum vitae,
- Statement of teaching philosophy,
- A one-page statement about their experience working with a diverse student
body and contributions or potential contributions to creating/advancing a
culture of equity and inclusion, and
- Other evidence of teaching effectiveness (max. file size 3MB per document).

Applicants should also provide the names and contact information for three
referees who could provide confidential letters of recommendation.

Applications must be submitted online at the application link provided below.
