The University of Maryland Center for Advanced Study of Language (CASL) is

enhancement. CASL seeks a scholar with specialization in language
assessment with strong psychometric training and experience in all aspects
of language test theory, development and use. The successful candidate will

role in the strategic direction of CASL and will participate in multiple
research projects in their field. Candidates' research and publications

research and to work collaboratively with a range of institutions and
researchers.
Candidates must hold U.S. citizenship and be willing to obtain the
appropriate security clearance.
CASL, established in 2003, is the nation's 10th university-affiliated

of government language professionals. Our research focuses on improving
knowledge of less commonly taught languages; enhancing the acquisition and
maintenance of foreign language capability by government professionals;
advancing the capacity to use foreign language skills in a government
profession; and improving the quality of human language technology.
