education program (Interdisciplinary Arts and Humanities).This
appointment will be 100% in the German Studies Program in the
Department of Linguistics, Languages, and Cultures, which is also home
to the Linguistics and Applied Linguistics programs.

The position comes with opportunities to collaborate with MSU’s
Sociolinguistics Lab as well as applied and theoretical linguists in
LiLaC and the Department of Romance and Classical Studies. Service and
community engagement may include involvement in education abroad,
collaborations with the Center for Language Teaching Advancement
(CeLTA), and other German program initiatives.
