Description:
Carleton University’s School of Linguistics and Language Studies invites applications for a tenure‐track position in Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies at the rank of Assistant Professor, commencing July 1, 2016. We are looking for an individual with a research specialization in Indigenous language issues and/or minority language issues more generally, especially in the Canadian context. Applicants should have an expertise in the maintenance, revitalization, and use of Indigenous/minority languages, as well as expertise that can complement and/or enhance current strengths in the School, for example: assessment; critical literacies; curriculum design; digital literacies; identity; learning/teaching; policy/planning. By July 1, 2016, applicants will have in hand a Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics, Discourse Studies, or related field, a well-‐defined research agenda and an active research profile with a strong commitment to the dissemination of scholarship through publication. Applicants must also have a demonstrated record of excellence in teaching.
The successful candidate will be expected to teach to a culturally diverse student body in both undergraduate and graduate programs, to provide graduate supervision at the MA and PhD levels, to develop a program of research leading to significant peer-‐reviewed publications, and to contribute effectively to academic life in the School of Linguistics and Language Studies.
The School’s programs in Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies are housed in a large unit representing a rich diversity of perspectives on language, with courses in these areas as well as in Linguistics, American Sign Language, Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and less commonly taught languages such as Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe), Ki-Swahili and Korean, as well as Communication Courses for Disciplines and Professions and courses in English as a Second Language for international students, immigrants and refugees. Detailed information on the School can be found at
