Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor,
invites applications for a new full-time, tenure-track position, beginning
August 29, 2022. Candidates either at the assistant or associate professor
level will receive equally strong consideration for hire, as will candidates
who are currently completing their PhD (PhD degree must be awarded before the
start of the appointment). We seek outstanding applicants whose research and
scholarship in linguistics address or contribute to social justice and
anti-racism. The specific subfield of specialization in linguistics is open. 

The successful candidate will build on existing strengths in the department
and is expected to teach and mentor graduate and undergraduate students in
linguistics, in particular regarding theories and research methods relevant
for the subfield(s) of specialization of the candidate, and regarding how
linguistics can address systems of discrimination. Applicants should give
indication of a productive research publication record and show potential for
long-term external funding support of their research program. We strongly
encourage applications from candidates interested in developing and teaching
courses that examine minoritized language varieties and their users, for
instance the language varieties found in African American communities.

Applicants are expected to submit:
 - a letter of application
 - a curriculum vitae
 - a statement of current and future research plans
 - a statement of teaching philosophy and experience
 - evidence of teaching excellence
 - a diversity statement demonstrating commitment to diversity, equity, and
inclusion through scholarship/research, and/or teaching/mentoring, and/or
service/engagement. 
 - up to three representative publications or other writings
 - contact information for three recommenders. Recommenders for an initial
shortlist of applicants will be contacted later to submit recommendations
online.

Applications should be submitted to the application link below. 

Review of dossiers will begin on October 31; applications received after
October 31 may not receive full consideration.

The University of Michigan is a non-discriminatory, equal
opportunity/affirmative action employer. Women and minoritized individuals are
encouraged to apply. The University of Michigan is committed to a policy of
nondiscrimination and equal opportunity for all persons regardless of race,
sex, color, religion, creed, national origin or ancestry, age, marital status,
sexual orientation or disability status in employment, educational programs
and activities, and admissions. The University of Michigan is also supportive
of the needs of dual-career couples.

The mission of the University of Michigan is to serve the people of Michigan
and the world through preeminence in creating, communicating, preserving and
applying knowledge, art, and academic values, and in developing leaders and
citizens who will challenge the present and enrich the future. We are
committed to providing an inclusive, equitable, and collaborative space to
learn, teach, work, discover, and thrive together. Respecting and valuing our
differences is essential to achieving our shared goals of producing
groundbreaking research, providing a world-class education, and making a
positive impact on society.
