Job Rank: Assistant Professor

Minimum Education: PhD

Specialty Areas: Applied Linguistics

Description:
The Department of English in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa invites applications for a
tenure-track Assistant Professor in Applied Linguistics and Artificial
Intelligence (AI). We seek a faculty member who specializes in at
least one of the following areas: the use of AI and
language-generating technologies in first- and second- language
learning, teaching, or assessment; linguistics-based qualitative and
quantitative research on the humanlike language generated by AI; the
study of generative AI in human-computer language interaction; or the
role of language in the subjective experience of generative AI users.
The ideal applicant will have an established or emerging research
agenda focusing on AI with expertise relevant to natural language
processing (NLP), generative AI, applied linguistics, or a related
area. We are especially interested in scholars who are using AI in
innovative ways in applied linguistics.
At the undergraduate level, the faculty member will teach general
courses in linguistics and applied linguistics, courses that serve as
electives in the university’s minor in Applied Artificial
Intelligence, and new course offerings that integrate AI technologies
into linguistics. At the graduate level, the faculty member will have
the opportunity to teach courses in applied linguistics and
technology, and may contribute to interdisciplinary programs such as
Human Computer Interaction, depending on area of specialization.
Potential graduate courses include seminars on AI-assisted
technologies and generative AI for language learning and assessment,
language-based analytics, automated dialogue systems, and
speech-driven user interfaces, as well as courses on programming for
NLP, computational and/or corpus-based text analysis, statistical
analysis of language, or other areas related to the candidate’s
expertise.
The successful candidate will join a community of faculty in applied
linguistics who are exploring the uses and implications of AI in the
field. This faculty member will strengthen cross-disciplinary efforts
in an area of excellence in the Department of English—the use of
technology for teaching, assessing, and researching language. In
addition, the faculty member will have opportunities to forge
connections with faculty from other department programs specializing
in AI, as well contribute to campus-wide strategic initiatives related
to trusted innovation and artificial intelligence.
The position begins August 16, 2027.
All faculty members are expected to exhibit and convey good
citizenship within the program, the department, college, and
university activities and collegial interactions, and maintain the
highest standards of integrity and ethical behavior.
Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. on an
ongoing basis without sponsorship. Immigration sponsorship is not
available for this position.
