Job Title: Assistant Professor (tenure-track) - Sociolinguistics
Job Rank: Assistant Professor

Specialty Areas: Sociolinguistics

Description:

The Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Davis
invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in
Sociolinguistics. The ideal candidate is expected to establish a
research program that empirically investigates the intersection of
society and language use. We are particularly interested in scholars
whose work looks at those who speak, use, and learn more than one
language, dialect, or variety. A successful candidate will employ
quantitative, empirical, computational, and/or mixed methods
approaches to address contemporary issues at the intersection of
language and society. Desired qualifications of the scholar is that
their work focuses on the relationship between language, society, and
technology when considering the social and linguistic dynamics of
multilingual and multidialectal populations, on lesser
known/under-resourced languages and linguistic varieties, or on
thinking about the ethics/societal consequences of AI, LLMs, or big
data with respect to language variation/multilingualism.

Additional required qualifications include the ability to teach
sociolinguistics at all levels, as well as general topics in
linguistics. Mentoring of undergraduate students, supervision of
graduate students, involvement in curricular development, and
performance of university service are expected. A Ph.D. in Linguistics
or a closely related field must be completed by the beginning of
instruction.

Applicants should also submit: a curriculum vitae; a cover letter that
clearly states reasons for the candidate’s interest in the position,
qualifications, and a summary of academic trajectory; statements of
research and teaching interests; official graduate transcripts; and at
least one  writing sample (publication, submitted manuscript, or
dissertation chapter), and three letters of recommendation through the
online application system found at:
https://recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06729. This recruitment is conducted at
the assistant rank. The resulting hire will be at the assistant rank,
regardless of the proposed appointee’s qualifications. A reasonable
estimate for this position is $104,000 to $127,000.

The position will remain open until filled. Applications received by
November 15, 2024 will receive full initial consideration.

The University of California, Davis, is an affirmative action/equal
opportunity employer with a strong institutional commitment to the
achievement of diversity among its faculty and staff.
