Description:

The Department of Spanish and Portuguese in the College of Arts and Sciences
at The Ohio State University invites applications for a tenure-track faculty
position at the rank of Assistant Professor with expertise in formal
approaches to syntax and/or semantics, with a focus on Spanish. We seek a
scholar who uses diverse methodological and empirical approaches to examine
the structure and meaning of Spanish, and who could collaborate with
colleagues in the department and in allied units such as Linguistics,
Philosophy, Psychology, and Speech and Hearing Science. In particular, we are
interested in applicants who work on understudied language varieties,
including but not limited to the Spanish of historically racialized groups;
Spanish in contact with indigenous or minority languages and lesser-known
varieties of Spanish and Portuguese. We see this position as an opportunity to
build upon our existing strengths as a leading program in Hispanic
Linguistics.

The Department of Spanish and Portuguese has 20 tenure-track faculty, as well
as 26 associated faculty and 3 professors of teaching. The Department has four
main academic programs: Hispanic Linguistics, Latin American Literatures and
Cultures, Iberian Studies and Studies of the Portuguese-speaking World, as
well as an interdisciplinary specialization in Latinx Literatures, Cultures &
Languages. In addition to maintaining an active research program, candidates
are expected to contribute to the Department’s teaching and service missions
by teaching, advising, and mentoring students. The successful applicant will
have the opportunity to teach upper-level undergraduate and introductory
graduate courses in Hispanic Linguistics on syntax and/or semantics, as well
as specialized graduate-level seminars, and, when appropriate, contribute to
curricular development. The Ohio State University has a strong institutional
commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in all areas. We favor
candidates who can promote interdisciplinary perspectives, intercultural
understanding, sensitivity and respect among our departmental community and
the wider communities we serve.

Qualifications: 
Applicants must have a PhD in Hispanic Linguistics, Linguistics or a related
field by the time of appointment (August 15, 2023) Native or near-native
proficiency in Spanish and English are required. The successful candidate will
demonstrate a record of publications in peer-reviewed journals or the promise
of an emerging publication record. We seek candidates who demonstrate
multicultural competence, or the awareness, knowledge, and skills needed to
work with others who are culturally different from self in meaningful,
relevant, and productive ways. Willingness to work collaboratively with
faculty and to mentor students from a wide range of cultures and academic
backgrounds is preferred. Appointment is contingent on the university’s
verification of credentials and other information required by law and/or
university policies, including but not limited to a criminal background check.

Apply to Academic Jobs Online via the link below. A complete application
consists of a cover letter; curriculum vitae; research, teaching, and
diversity statements; and the names of three professional references (to be
contacted later in the search process). The diversity statement should
articulate your demonstrated commitments and capacities to contribute to
diversity, equity, and inclusion through research, teaching, mentoring, and/or
outreach and engagement.
