Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (University of South Carolina in Columbia)Spanish Transatlantic Studies.
The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures and the Spanish Program at the University of South Carolina (://www.cas.sc.edu/dllc/) invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the area of Latino/a Studies, Border Studies, or Hispanic Sociolinguistics (especially Bilingualism or Languages in Contact). A scholarly interest in Portuguese is a plus. We expect this hire to contribute to our new Ph.D. program to bridge traditional Hispanic/Spanish Studies and new fields of inquiry on Latin America and/or the Spanish-speaking diaspora in the United States. We expect this hire to have an active role in the community as well. Teaching responsibilities include two courses per semester, with assignments in a broad range of undergraduate and graduate courses in Spanish. The candidate must have native or near-native command of both Spanish and English, experience of teaching at the college level, and the Ph.D. in hand by August of 2015.
