Reed College invites applications for a one-year Visiting Assistant Professor position in Linguistics, with a focus on phonetics and phonology, for the 2015-16 academic year, to commence in August 2015.
Reed is a selective undergraduate-only liberal arts institution with a commitment to teaching excellence and scholarship. The successful candidate will co-teach the department’s introductory course (Introduction to Linguistic Analysis), as well as offering our upper-division Phonetics and Phonology courses, along with two other courses on topics in phonetics, phonology, or other sub-fields that complement our current offerings. The candidate will also oversee the department’s lab space, and supervise year-long senior thesis projects on an array of topics within linguistics, some of which will include an experimental component.
Experience with teaching, mentoring student research, and supervising a phonetics lab are highly desirable. Candidates with expertise in the structure of an understudied language or language family are also encouraged to apply. PhD or ABD in Linguistics required for appointment.
Please submit a letter of application describing teaching and scholarly interests, along with a CV and examples of scholarly work, and three letters of recommendation to the application website below. As part of your letter of application, please describe at least three upper-division courses (besides introductory phonetics and phonology) which you would like to teach. Reed values cultural and intellectual pluralism as essential to the excellence of our academic program: in your letter of application, we strongly encourage you to address how your teaching, scholarship, mentorship, and/or community service might support the commitment to diversity and inclusion articulated in the College’s diversity statement (
http://www.reed.edu/diversity/).
Application materials must be received by March 20. For further information about this position, please contact Matt Pearson (email below).
An Equal Opportunity Employer, Reed values diversity and encourages applications from underrepresented groups.
