The person hired into this position will also be expected to conduct research and contribute to the literature in second language acquisition and/or another core area of linguistics. We especially encourage applications from candidates who are eager and qualified to conduct collaborative research with members of our faculty, contribute actively to the success of the department’s research and teaching missions, and contribute to increasing the diversity of the department’s intellectual life and offerings through experience related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. https://linguistics.utah.edu/about/diversity-and-inclusion-statement.php
