This is a full time position with a nine-month academic year appointment, and it is in the Language and Literacy, Society and Culture area of the school. Across the nation and world, schools struggle to educate immigrant students and English language learners. We seek a scholar whose research and teaching will contribute to the theory and practice of English language learning and teaching/bilingual education by providing rigorous and theoretically grounded approaches to understanding the academic and schooling experiences of immigrant and English language learners. The work of ideal candidates will engage classroom learning and teaching practices, but it will situate and analyze these practices in the broader context of the socio-historical, cultural diversity, and political-equity issues surrounding the schooling of immigrant students, English language learners, bilingual, and culturally and linguistically diverse students. A focus on K-12 education is desired. Candidates should hold a doctoral degree in educational linguistics, language and literacy education, second language acquisition, or another related field. They should have demonstrated a record, or the potential for achieving a record, of producing and publishing high-quality research and generating funding from competitive grants. Candidates will be expected to have excellent teaching and mentoring skills and contribute to teaching and advising in our doctoral/masters and credential programs. There will also be opportunities to teach courses in our undergraduate minor. Strong candidates will have expertise in one or more of the following areas: (1) first/second language development and assessment, (2) instructing immigrant, English language learners, bilingual, and/or culturally and linguistically diverse students in one or more of the content areas (literacy, social studies, science, and math), and (3) the intersections between language, race, ethnicity, and culture in teaching and learning. Applications must include a detailed letter of interests and qualifications; a curriculum vitae; a sample of recent scholarly writings; and three letters of reference.
