> Position description:
>
> The Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, has been authorized to make an appointment in Language Revitalization. The position will be filled at the rank of assistant professor (tenure-track). Duties will include teaching (up to three courses per year); undergraduate and graduate advising and supervision of student research; development of a successful and original research program; and service contributions. Candidates with research specialization in language revitalization and a broad intellectual engagement in linguistics and related fields are encouraged to apply.
>
> Integral to the work of many linguistics students and faculty at UC Berkeley is a program of engagement with minoritized and/or Indigenous language communities in California, the US, or elsewhere in the world, and a commitment to the view that research excellence is compatible with collaborations that serve those communities’ goals. The department has a long history of engagement with language revitalization, including, for example, the [Breath of Life workshops](https://guides.lib.berkeley.edu/BancroftNativeAmericanCollections/BreathOfLife) hosted at Berkeley since the 1990s, the [Designated Emphasis in Indigenous Language Revitalization](https://lx.berkeley.edu/academics/designated-emphasis-indigenous-language-revitalization), and the outreach work of the [California Language Archive](https://cla.berkeley.edu/mission.html).
>
> The department seeks applicants with a research focus in community-engaged language revitalization (anywhere in the world), as well as those with additional research interests or skills that will contribute to the intellectual life of a broad linguistics community (including but not limited to language documentation, description, and analysis; sociolinguistics; anthropological linguistics; language acquisition; language education; areal and language-family expertise). The successful candidate will be expected to teach courses in general linguistics and language revitalization at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, and to provide research mentoring, as well as to participate in service to the department, university, and field.
>
> We welcome applications from those who have had non-traditional career paths, have achieved excellence in careers outside academia, or have taken time off for family reasons. The department is committed to addressing the family needs of faculty, including dual career couples and single parents.
