Description:

The Department of Linguistics at Swarthmore College invites applications for a
Visiting Assistant Professor with a specialization in semantics. Starting with
the fall semester of 2022, this is a three-year appointment with the
possibility for reappointment. 

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 35 to 40 majors per class. The
curriculum is built around the theoretical analysis of grammar with
connections made to descriptive research and language documentation. Our
faculty engage with (have longstanding ties to) language communities in the
linguistic analysis of American Sign Language, Chinese, Kyrgyz, Navajo,
Wamesa, and Zapotec. We maintain an Endangered Languages Laboratory, a
Phonetics Laboratory, a Pacific Languages & Linguistics Lab, a Navajo
linguistics library, as well as a general linguistics library. Classes are
small, students are intense, and the opportunity for collaboration with
students as well as colleagues is real and constant.

Swarthmore College is a highly selective liberal arts college, located in the
suburbs of Philadelphia, whose mission combines academic rigor with social
responsibility. Swarthmore has a strong institutional commitment to inclusive
excellence through diversity in its educational program and employment
practices. The College actively seeks and welcomes applications from
candidates with exceptional qualifications, particularly those with
demonstrable commitments to a more inclusive society and world.

To apply, please submit: 
 - a letter of application, 
 - a curriculum vitae, 
 - a research statement,
 - a teaching statement, 
 - a one-page statement of courses you would like to teach, 
 - one article or chapter you have written, and 
 - names and contact information of three people who can recommend you (we
will contact them for letters of recommendation after our initial review of
applications). 

All materials must be submitted electronically, through Interfolio at the
application link below.
