Description:
The Department of Comparative Human Development invites applications for a tenure-track assistant or associate professor specializing in the area of language and comparative human development. The Department operates an interdisciplinary research and graduate training program in the Division of the Social Sciences, specializing in the biosocial and psychocultural study of human development over the life span. We seek a broadly trained scholar interested in the role of language in development within social interactional and/or cultural comparative contexts. Particular specialization is less important than a demonstrated capacity to engage in innovative research and substantive multidisciplinary dialogue. Relevant specializations might include, but are not limited to, language as a mediator of socialization, multilingualism, creolization and grammaticization processes, development of narrative or discursive skills, first and/or second language acquisition (in comparative perspective), language and the constitution of self (including cognitive and affective dimensions), and the psychological and sociological aspects of the specialized uses of language in institutional settings (e.g., clinic, classroom, etc.).
Please submit a letter of application, vita, a list of referees, and any relevant papers.
EOE/AAE.
