desirable. A PhD or ABD in Linguistics is required for appointment.

work (e.g., a journal article, proceedings paper, or dissertation
chapter). Please submit the names and contact information for three
recommenders.

In your letter of application please address the following:
- Scholarly interests.
- Teaching experience: solo teaching, TAing, mentoring students,
and/or advising student research projects.
- Teaching interests: identify existing courses from our catalog that
you would be interested in teaching, and describe one or two new

- Contribution to diversity and inclusion: Reed College is a community
that values cultural diversity and inclusive educational practices as
essential to the excellence of our academic program. Please describe
the ways in which your past and current teaching, scholarship,
mentorship, and/or community service have supported these values.
Please also convey the ways in which your work at Reed will support
the commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion articulated in the
