Announcement for SLA faculty position with specialization in technology
A colleague asked me to disseminate the following announcement for a SLA faculty technology position with specialization in technology:
The Department of Modern Languages and Classics invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) with a specialization in technology in SLA, beginning August 2016. The applicant should have additional expertise
in at least one of the languages taught in the department and have native or near-native competency in that language. Requirements include: a Ph.D. or equivalent in Second Language Acquisition, Applied Linguistics, or related field, with a particular focus
on the use of technology in SLA. The successful candidate will have expertise in technology-enhanced language pedagogy, as well as experience with technology-enhanced curriculum development, materials, and assessments.
The successful candidate will teach undergraduate and graduate courses and advise MA and PhD students. In addition, he or she is expected to serve as a liaison to guide the further development of the departmental Language Resource Center and expand current
technological initiatives through regular workshops for faculty and graduate students on recent tools and approaches related to the use of technology in the foreign language classroom.
