Equity and diversity are among UTM’s core values and are essential to academic excellence. We seek candidates who value diversity and whose research, teaching, and service bear out our commitment to equity. Candidates are therefore also asked to submit a 1-2 page statement of contributions to equity and diversity, which might cover topics such as (but not limited to): research or teaching that incorporates a focus on underrepresented communities, the development of inclusive pedagogies, or the mentoring of students from underrepresented groups.
Arrangements should be made for three recent letters of reference, which must comment on the applicant’s research and teaching abilities, to be addressed to Professor Emmanuel Nikiema, Chair of the Search Committee, and sent directly by the referee to [email protected] by the closing date. Please ensure that the candidate’s name and “Linguistics Search” are included in the subject line and that letters are on a letterhead, signed, dated and scanned.
