Description:

About the University of Texas at El Paso:
Located in one of the largest binational communities in the world, The
University of Texas at El Paso is unique among research institutions. UTEP is
an R1 Carnegie classified national research University and ranks third among
all U.S. colleges and universities in awarding bachelor's degrees to
Hispanics. UTEP enrolls more than 25,000 students. The Brookings Institution
in 2017 ranked UTEP as the leading university in equal access to higher
education, based on a combination of research productivity and student social
mobility. With 172 bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree programs available
in eight colleges and schools, UTEP is the first national research university
serving a 21st century student demographic. 

The Linguistics Program within the Department of Languages & Linguistics at
The University of Texas stands apart from other linguistics departments
offering bachelors and master's degrees because many of our undergraduate and
graduate students, faculty, and staff are English and Spanish bilinguals.
Being in the border provides a potential goldmine of possible research topics
related to language learning, language contact, bilingualism, and the links
between language and culture. 

Job Description:
The Linguistics Program within the Department of Languages & Linguistics at
The University of Texas at El Paso invites applications for a Visiting
Assistant Professor of Syntax beginning in Spring 2021. This position is
initially for the Spring semester only, with a possibility for extending

The successful applicant should have an active research agenda in current
topics in theoretical generative syntax, as well as evidence of teaching
success and experience teaching online. Additional expertise in bilingualism
and computational linguistics is also desirable. Since the graduate program
offers a concentration in Hispanic Linguistics, acquaintance with issues in
Hispanic syntax (language acquisition, language variation) is a significant
plus.  

The Linguistics Program has active connections with other academic programs
including psychology, speech pathology, and sociology/anthropology.
Linguistics faculty participate in UTEP’s Consortium for Scientific Research
on Bilingualism (https://research.utep.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=75980).
