The University of Washington English Department invites applications for an Associate Professor position in TESOL/Applied Linguistics. (This is a senior position in addition to the Assistant Professor position advertised earlier.) This is a tenured, full-time position in the English Department; PhD required. However, responsibilities will be split between the English Department and the UW English Language (ESOL) Programs. The successful candidate will teach half time in the UW MATESOL Program and serve as a liaison with the English Language Programs, working on curricular research and initiatives, and ongoing program evaluation. The department offers a MATESOL Program as well as a doctoral track in Language and Rhetoric. Demonstrated excellence in teaching is required. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, we are particularly interested in active scholars with expertise in English for Academic Purposes, program evaluation, and research methods. Research/teaching expertise in any of the following areas is a plus: globalization, language testing bilingualism/multilingualism, second language writing, teaching methods, and critical applied linguistics. Supervising doctoral dissertations will also be an integral part of his/her responsibilities. University of Washington faculty engage in teaching, research and service. The University of Washington is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer. The English Department is dedicated to the goal of building a culturally diverse and pluralistic faculty and staff committed to teaching and working in a multicultural environment and strongly encourages applications from women, minorities, individuals with disabilities and other eligible veterans. Review of applications will begin as they are received; preference will be given to applications postmarked by January 5, 2008.
