<br>
The University of Alaska Anchorage English Department is searching for a new
linguistics position. The top preference, in addition to the minimum
requirements, is someone with a background and desire to do research in the
area of indigenous language acquisition.<br>
<br>
**************************************************************************************<br>
<br>
The Department of English invites applications for a tenure-track assistant
professorship in linguistics, beginning August 2009. The position requires a
Ph.D in English or English language studies at the time of appointment, with
academic concentration and dissertation in linguistics and/or the English
language. Experience in one or more of the following is preferred: (1)
acquisition of English by indigenous peoples, (2) teaching English as a Second
Language, (3) literacy studies, and/or (4) digital and new media studies. The
successful candidate will teach three courses each semester with a regular
rotation in introductory linguistics, intermediate and advanced syntax, and
applied linguistics (such as grammar and linguistics for language-arts
teachers), and will have the opportunity to teach one graduate course per year
on a selected topic. The candidate will be expected to maintain an active
research program.<br>
<br>
Salary is commensurate with preparation and experience, and full benefits
package includes health and life insurance, retirement, and tuition waiver.<br>
