The Instructor American Sign Language position is a multi campus
position. The successful candidate will teach American Sign Language
courses to a diverse community of learners with a strong focus on
language acquisition in preparation for learners to develop
interpreting skills. ASL courses offered include ASL 1-6,
Non-Manual Markers, Classifiers, Semantics, Visual-Gestural
Communication, ASL/Deaf Folklore and Literature, ASL Linguistics,
Deaf Culture, and Numbers and Fingerspelling. Instructors not

Overview of Department
The Interpreter Education Program at Central Piedmont Community
College is focused on preparing learners to work as ASL-English
interpreters in a variety of settings and contexts. ASL instruction
allows learners to either take ASL to satisfy modern language
requirements of other programs, complete a certificate in Basic ASL
Communication and/or complete an Associate's Degree in ASL-English
Interpreting. The Central Piedmont Interpreter Education Program
is founded on the belief that Deaf people constitute a linguistic
and cultural minority group where ASL is a central indigenous language
used by members of the Deaf community. Instructors encourage
students to acquire and master ASL both through classroom instruction
and diverse contact within the Deaf Community. The program uses the
approach that interpreters are allies within the Deaf Community and
that interpreting is a complex cognitive process. We recognize that
not all deaf people use ASL and thus, we encourage students to
broaden their competence and expertise through on-going association
with a variety of Deaf persons and a commitment to life-long
learning. Students who graduate from the program are prepared to
apply for a provisional license with the State of NC and/or to
take the EIPA to work in k-12 settings.

The University of Wyoming (UW) invites applications for the Knobloch
Professorship in the Helga Otto Haub School of Environment and Natural

an accomplished and creative individual to provide research,
outreach/engagement, teaching, and service consistent with the educational

that can inform real-world solutions; tangible, place-based experiences to

economics, engage with communities to support real-world decision making,
and teach undergraduate and graduate courses in their area of expertise.
We seek colleagues who can demonstrate excellent interdisciplinary
scholarship and teaching, outstanding communication skills, and capacity
to advance the Haub School's reputation and vision. We are interested in
candidates with experience in the American West and evidence of effective
engagement with stakeholders including natural resource agencies, land
managers, conservation organizations, and communities. The preferred
candidate may be of any rank, but we envision hiring an associate
professor. Candidates at the assistant professor level with an established
record of research are encouraged to apply.
The Knobloch Professorship is supported by an endowment with funds that
may be used for research, conference travel, graduate students, sponsoring
visiting lecturers, and other activities relevant to the position.
