 * Rank: Associate Professor
 * URL: http://umass.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdetails.jsp?JOBID=54826
 * NOTES:
 * "Under exceptional circumstances, highly qualified candidates at other ranks may receive consideration." Does this mean it's really an Assistant/Associate opening?
 * This is Joe Pater, the chair of the search committee replying. The quoted portion is language required by our administration so that if we do want to hire at a rank other than associate, we don't have to redo the search. In answer to the quesiton: we are considering applications from candidates at all ranks.

This is Joe Pater again. We are currently reviewing applications, and might not be in touch with candidates until we send out invitations for campus visits, which should happen toward the end of the month (January).

^Thanks for the updates, Joe - always nice to see a search committee making positive use of the wiki.

Word on the street
Announcement: “Thriving as an Early Career Faculty Member” mini-course at LSA meeting – Thurs., Jan. 8 10:00am to 3:00pm

The Linguistics in Higher Education Committee of the LSA is proud to host a 4-hour mini-course for advanced (post-qualifying) graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, providing them with a toolbox for thriving as early career faculty members. During the mini-course, participants will reflect on their identity as scholars, educators, and community members, taking into consideration best practices for thriving in these three areas. We will interweave the theme of thriving as an early career faculty member while focusing on the following key elements:


 * Identifying and developing your teaching philosophy
 * Integrating teaching, research, and service
 * Jump-starting your research program
 * Designing goal-oriented and student-centered courses

To register for the course, please go to: http://www.linguisticsociety.org/content/lsa-2015-annual-meeting-minicourses
