Position Overview:

  • Provide strategic leadership for the SLC at a moment of dramatic change in language teaching globally, ensuring the continued development of its programs and initiatives.
  • Monitor language instruction in over 40 languages, including program assessment, faculty development, student proficiency ratings, and instructor evaluations. 
  • Provide leadership in the training and development of lecturers and Teaching Assistants. 
  • Represent the SLC in university-wide initiatives and advocate for language education in Stanford's broader academic mission.
  • Coordinate with key constituencies, especially faculty in the Division of Literatures, Cultures and Languages and the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures. 

Qualifications: 

  • A Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree in a relevant field, such as applied linguistics, language pedagogy, literary studies, or second language acquisition. 
  • Demonstrated excellence in teaching and leadership in language education. 
  • A record of scholarly contributions to language acquisition, pedagogy, or related areas. 
  • Well-versed in ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines and World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages. 
  • Administrative experience in language instruction in higher education. 

Application Process: 

Candidates should submit the following: 

  1. A cover letter addressing their vision for the SLC and qualifications for the position. 
  2. A curriculum vitae. 
  3. Contact information for three references. 

Finalists will be asked to submit a syllabus for a course to train PhD students in second language pedagogy, a writing sample and teaching evaluations.

Applications will be reviewed starting October 1, 2026, and the position will remain open until filled. The anticipated start date is September 1, 2027.

The salary range for this position is $149,247 - $255,852.

Stanford University has provided a pay range representing its good faith estimate of what the university reasonably expects to pay for the position. The pay offered to the selected candidate will be determined based on factors including (but not limited to) the experience and qualifications of the selected candidate including years since terminal degree, training, and field or discipline; departmental budget availability; and internal equity.
