Lecturer in Linguistics

Application Window

The Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Santa Barbara invites applications for a pool of qualified lecturers to teach course(s) in Linguistics for any upcoming openings. Screening of applicants is ongoing and will continue as needed. The number of positions varies from quarter to quarter, depending on the needs of the department. We currently anticipate needs in sociocultural linguistics, particularly a general education course in language, race, and ethnicity, but we may also have needs related to other linguistic subfields and courses as well. Lecturers teach lower- and upper-division courses, including introductory and advanced Linguistics courses and, in some cases, graduate-level courses.

The department is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching, and/or service, as appropriate to the position. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values at UC Santa Barbara. Our excellence can only be fully realized by faculty, staff, students, and staff who share our commitment to these values. For information about the department, see: http://www.linguistics.ucsb.edu.

The posting will remain open until March 31, 2023 to accommodate department needs. Appointments for fall quarter are usually reviewed in July, winter quarter in November, and spring quarter in March.
The pool will close on March 31, 2023; if you would like to continue to be considered after that time, and the pooled position is advertised again, you will need to submit a new application. Please note: The use of a lecturer pool does not guarantee that an open position exists at the time you are applying. See the review date specified in UC Recruit to learn whether the department is currently reviewing applications for an upcoming opening. If there is no future review date specified, your application may not be considered at this time.

Master's Degree in Linguistics or a related field and at least one year of experience in teaching college-level linguistics courses.

A Ph.D. in Linguistics is preferred but not required.

Applicants should provide contact information for three references. References listed will be contacted for letters later as teaching positions are open.
