    Georgetown University Department of Linguistics is pleased to announce a tenure track position at the Assistant Professor level in the Sociolinguistics program.

    Our primary interest is a candidate whose specialty is sociolinguistic variation, especially as it relates to both language theory and social life. However, we also encourage applications from sociolinguists with other specializations, including (but not limited to) language contact and change, computer mediated communication, language ideology, gender and language, pidgins and creoles, developmental pragmatics, language and social theory. The seven-member sociolinguistics program resides in a large linguistics department involved mostly in graduate education, with opportunities for reaching out to undergraduates.

    Applicants should have a Ph.D., an active research program and evidence of scholarly productivity, as well as demonstrated teaching ability.

    Deadline for consideration of applications is December 1. Send letter of application, curriculum vitae, representative publications, and names of three references who may be contacted to:

    Sociolinguistics Search Committee, Linguistics Department Georgetown University Washington DC 20057

    Applications from women and members of minority groups are encouraged. Georgetown University is an AA/EO employer.
