Required Language(s): English (eng)

Description:

The Department of Linguistics at Georgetown University invites applications
for a full-time tenure-line Provost’s Distinguished Faculty Fellow and
Assistant Professor of Linguistics whose research focuses on any aspect of
African American Language, from any research perspective within linguistics.
Our department has concentrations in applied linguistics, computational
linguistics, sociolinguistics, and theoretical/formal linguistics. We welcome
applicants with expertise in any of these areas, or others (e.g. linguistic
anthropology, psycholinguistics, educational linguistics, language policy). We
especially encourage applications from scholars who are members of groups
historically underrepresented in academia.

For the first year, the successful candidate will hold the title of Provost’s
Distinguished Faculty Fellow. The Provost’s Distinguished Faculty Fellow
Program at Georgetown attracts new faculty from a wide range of backgrounds
who demonstrate a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Provost’s
Distinguished Fellows are on the tenure track, and will be exempt from
teaching and service duties in the first year of their appointments, when they
will devote their full-time effort to building their research programs. The
regular teaching load for this position is 2-2. Fellows will be paired with
two senior faculty mentors.

Qualifications:
A Ph.D. in Linguistics or an adjacent field is required prior to appointment
start date (August 1, 2023). Candidates must show strong promise of excellence
in teaching as well as research. They should also demonstrate in their
application a commitment to academic excellence and diversity, equity, and
inclusion (DEI). This commitment to DEI can be demonstrated in a number of
ways, including through teaching and research on matters related to DEI or
through service that fosters DEI in a university community.

Application Instructions: Submit the following required materials via the link
below:
 - A cover letter describing your research, teaching, and service, and how the
principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion are reflected in each of these
components
 - a CV
 - one writing sample or recent publication
 - Contact information for three recommenders. Recommenders may be contacted
for letters at a later stage in the search process.

Applications are due by November 15, 2022.

Associate Professor of Linguistics, at the email address below. 

About the Department: 
The mission of the Linguistics Department at Georgetown is to contribute
knowledge of a diversity of linguistic phenomena through different modes of
inquiry. We examine language through its structure, acquisition, use in
context, and via computational models. We value the legitimacy and relevance
of research at every level of analysis. We house a doctoral program and a
master's of science which are structured along four concentrations, and we
offer a major and a minor in linguistics. With all our curricular programs,
our faculty and student research, and our service to the field and the
community, we provide a foundation of linguistic study built upon a tradition
of unique pluralism.

Georgetown University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer
fully dedicated to achieving a diverse faculty and staff.  All qualified
applicants are encouraged to apply and will receive consideration for
employment without regard to race, col
