conducting research and mentoring students at the BA and MA levels.
We seek student-focused candidates who are capable of teaching courses
in core areas of linguistics.  While not necessary, a background in
semantics and/or pragmatics that would allow for teaching at higher
levels in these areas would be valuable.

Candidates will be expected to enthusiastically and vigorously
contribute to the teaching and mentoring of students in our
department's undergraduate majors in Linguistics and Applied English
Linguistics, as well as our MA in Linguistics.  Ability to contribute
to our other programs, including an MA in TESOL, BA in Editing and
Publishing and a minor in linguistic computing is also desirable.  In
the BYU Department of Linguistics, we pride ourselves on a culture of
collaboration and mutual support, which upholds superior teaching and
fosters the flourishing of faculty research in a spectrum of exciting
areas.

Required Degree:  Ph.D. in Linguistics or related field.

The required degree must be completed by the start date.

course listings in associated programs: catalog.byuedu/programs/34637;
catalog.byu.edu/programs/34636; gradstudies.byu.edu/linguistics-ma.
 - Dedication to innovative teaching focused on student growth and
lifelong learning.
 - Commitment to mentoring students effectively in and out of class.
Ability to contribute to linguistics thesis committees as a reader
and/or as a chair.
 - Willingness to support student faith through obvious commitment to
the religious expectations of the sponsoring institution, The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
 - Evident potential for or substantiated record of scholarly research
and/or a well-defined research agenda.

Ideal candidates would have some of the following:
 - Keenness to collaborate with students on diverse research projects,
both faculty-led and student-driven.
 - Ability to bridge personal scholarship with other programs in the
department.
 - Mission-aligned scholarship that can be readily connected with BYU
emphases on multilingualism, family, religion, human flourishing, and
constitutional government.

Duties/Expectations: Under a 10-month contract, primary
responsibilities will encompass:
 - Teaching six courses annually, predominantly within the Linguistics
BA, Applied English Linguistics BA and Linguistics MA, but also
possibly in other department programs (ling.byu.edu/all-programs)
 - Continually updating and refining teaching and mentoring techniques
with a commitment to engaging and educating learners effectively.
 - Conducting original research and disseminating that research in
reputable peer-reviewed journals, books, or other scholarly outlets.
 - Mentoring students in linguistic research, research presentations,
peer-reviewed article publication, and applying for funding.
 - Contributing to other departmental or college duties, including
student advising, thesis chairing, program coordination, committee
service, and shared governance.
