Subject: Sociolinguistics: Assistant Professor, Swarthmore College, Pennsylvania, USA

 
University or Organization: Swarthmore College 
Department: Linguistics
Job Location: Pennsylvania, USA 
Web Address: https://www.swarthmore.edu/linguistics
Job Title: Visiting Assistant Professor of Linguistics Specializing in Sociolinguistics
Job Rank: Assistant Professor

Specialty Areas: Sociolinguistics 


Description:

The Department of Linguistics at Swarthmore College invites applications for a
Visiting Assistant Professor with a specialization in Sociolinguistics,
broadly conceived. We seek candidates with the demonstrated ability to teach
beginning and advanced undergraduates of diverse backgrounds in our
introductory Sociolinguistics course, as well as electives in related areas,
and potentially other core courses for the department. Starting with the fall
semester of 2021, this is a three-year appointment with the possibility for
reappointment. PhD must be in hand by the end of August 2021.

The Linguistics Department is a collaborative Tri-College curricular program
involving faculty and students from Bryn Mawr, Swarthmore and Haverford
Colleges. All together, we have roughly 30 to 35 majors per year. The
curriculum is built around the theoretical analysis of grammar with
connections made to descriptive research and language documentation. Our
faculty have longstanding ties to language communities in the linguistic
analysis of American Sign Language, Chinese, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Navajo, Tuvan,
Wamesa, and Zapotec, and we value research which engages with linguistic and
cultural diversity and social justice. We maintain three faculty research
labs, a Navajo linguistics library, an ASL library, as well as a general
linguistics library. Classes are small, with a focus on hands-on pedagogy, and
students expect an intense intellectual experience. The opportunity for
collaboration with students as well as colleagues is real and constant.

Please submit:
- A cover letter,
- Your CV,
- A statement of your approach to teaching,
- One sample of your scholarly work, and
- Names and contact information for three referees.

Consideration of applications will begin April 12, 2021 and will continue
until the position is filled.

Apply through Interfolio at the application link provided below.

We will request letters from your referees if we desire them. Please address
