bama.ua.edu>The Department of English at the University of Alabama invites applications for two tenure-track assistant professor positions starting in August of 2000, for linguists who can participate in our established M.A.-TESOL Program, our new Ph.D. concentration in applied linguistics (discourse, culture and English language studies), and who can also offer undergraduate linguistics courses (in particular, an introduction to linguistics and a history of English). Duties include teaching, research, and service; our M.A.-TESOL faculty work closely with our colleagues in UA's English Language Institute. A Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics/Linguistics is required, with strengths in some combination from the areas of second language writing, classroom-oriented research, language teaching methodology, second language acquisition theory, and socio-historical approaches to the history of English. For one of the positions, preference will be given to candidates with strengths in the area of second language writing, and an interest in working with our faculty in rhetoric and composition. For the other position, preference will be given to candidates with strengths in the structure and history of the English language. Preference will be given for both positions to candidates who see research opportunities in (1) our large freshman composition program with separate sections for non-native English speakers, (2) UA's independently-administered intensive English Language Institute with a large internal program and a number of external programs each year, and (3) UA's well-developed self-instructional language program (Critical Languages). Competence in at least one other language and international teaching experience are highly desirable. Send letter of application, c.v., names of three references, and any representative publications to: Prof. Catherine E. Davies, Director of the M.A.-TESOL Program, Dept. of English, Box 870244 University of Alabama Tuscaloosa, AL 35487-0244 Search will remain open until position is filled; however, review of applications will begin immediately. Interviews will be held at the MLA. The University of Alabama is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.Mail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue
