Applicants are expected to hold a Ph.D. in Anthropology by August 2011, and have demonstrated abilities in applying for research funding and presenting and publishing research findings, as well as preparation for teaching. The Anthropology Department at USC is a four-field Ph.D., M.A., and B.A. granting program with a shared focus on comparative diasporas and social justice. The successful candidate for the position in linguistic anthropology will need to contribute to the linguistic and cultural anthropology curriculum in the department, and will likely be a strong contributor to the Linguistics Program at USC, which also offers the Ph.D. Linguistic anthropology courses are often cross-listed between Anthropology and Linguistics. All faculty members in the Anthropology Department contribute to the training of undergraduate and graduate students in a four-field approach to anthropology. The successful candidate for this position in linguistic anthropology may work in any geographic region, but must have completed sociocultural-linguistic fieldwork. Preference will be given to applicants with research experience with a language other than English and whose research incorporates one or more of the following foci: language and inequality in institutional settings; globalization and diasporic studies; and language, gender, and sexuality. Applications from candidates who incorporate video ethnographic methods in their research are encouraged, since the Anthropology Department offers, in addition to the degree programs mentioned above, a graduate certificate in Visual Anthropology. Applicants are invited to address, in the letter of application, how they might approach teaching some of the following courses and/or discuss courses they might design: Language, Culture and Society, Ethnography of Communication, Discourse and Gender, Language and Globalization, Semiotics, Language Ideology, and Qualitative Methods. The University of South Carolina has been designated as one of only 73 public and 35 private academic institutions with "very high research activity" by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The Carnegie Foundation also lists USC as having strong community engagement. The University has over 28,000 students on the main campus (and over 43,000 students system-wide), 350 degree programs, and a nationally-ranked library system. Columbia, the capital of South Carolina, has a population of over 650,000 in the greater metropolitan area. Applicants should submit a letter of intent describing their interests and credentials, curriculum vitae, statements of research and teaching interests, accomplishments, three letters of recommendation, writing sample and samples of published and unpublished research electronically to the application email address below. The University of South Carolina is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.
