Ideal candidates will also have experience in language learning and teaching in K-12 schools in national or international contexts. We are interested in a scholar whose abilities and interests relate to students at both doctoral and master's levels, and who can offer courses, as well as supervise, guide, and conduct research germane to the interests of professional educators and educational researchers.
