University or Organization: Deep Springs College
Job Location: Big Pine, California, USA

Job Title: Social Science (Linguistics) Faculty Position at Deep
Springs College
Job Rank: Asst/Assoc Professor

Specialty Areas: Anthropological Linguistics; Cognitive Science;
Computational Linguistics; General Linguistics; Philosophy of Language

Description:

Deep Springs College is hiring the Julian Steward Chair of Social
Sciences to begin in August of 2025. This position is open to any
specialty including sociology, anthropology, archaeology, economics,
linguistics, psychology, and political science.

Job Description

The ideal candidate will be a committed and passionate teacher with an
enthusiasm for Deep Springs College’s unique educational program. As
long-standing members of the College community, Faculty Chairs have
the dual responsibility of supporting students throughout their time
at Deep Springs and leading innovations within the academic pillar.
Chairs have a unique ability to foster the intellectual culture of the
school; a specific interest in how pedagogy may inform a life of
service would be invaluable in this role. Deep Springs is a small,
self-reliant community. As such, Faculty Chairs are expected to engage
with the community beyond the classroom by fostering rapport with
students and colleagues; opportunities include sharing in meals,
projects, recreation, research, and ongoing conversation.

Faculty Chairs typically teach two self-designed courses each semester
(four courses per academic year) with fewer than 10 students. They are
expected to teach courses within their area of expertise, as well as
more general classes to support the breadth of the liberal arts
education offered by Deep Springs. In addition to the standard course
load, faculty typically mentor 2-3 students through independent
studies each year.  Faculty Chairs are encouraged to solicit student
participation in their work, or to work with them to design projects
of mutual interest. Faculty Chairs are also expected to serve on one
of the college’s standing committees, which manage annual processes,
such as admissions and curriculum development.

Faculty Chair appointments are full-time with extensive benefits such
as free housing, with paid utilities, and meals. Additional benefits
include health, vision, and dental insurance as well as a monthly
retirement contribution equal to 14% of salary. Traditionally Faculty
Chairs do not teach during our spring and summer short terms,
resulting in a four-month annual teaching release (May-August). The
starting salary for Faculty Chairs is $75,000 with additional salary
consideration for prior years of service in an existing faculty
position.

Initial appointments are for three years, renewable for a second
three-year term. Deep Springs College does not offer tenure but our
Faculty Chairs often stay for 4-6 years, transitioning to tenure-track
positions at top public and private institutions of higher learning.
Deep Springs is committed to supporting Chairs in their own
professional development, research and scholarship so that they may
pursue life-long success in academia after they leave the College.

Deep Springs College is an equal opportunity employer. We do not
discriminate on the basis of sex, gender identity, sexual orientation,
race, religion, national origin, religion, age, or disability. More
information about our commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and
inclusion can be found on our website.
