The Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Santa Barbara stands at the forefront of several converging trends in the field of linguistics, thanks to a series of key decisions made when the department was founded in 1989. UCSB Linguistics was created to realize a vision of linguistics as a field that would seek explanations for language as a fundamental human activity, through an understanding of how languages are used by their speakers.

From the beginning, the department committed itself to maintaining a sharp focus on the theoretical and methodological tools that would be needed to realize this vision, and to developing a broad empirical base for the work via a typo logically diverse sampling of the world’s languages. As more and more researchers across all fields of linguistics are seeking well-motivated explanations and firmly grounded empirical evidence for claims about the nature of language, UCSB’s longstanding leadership in this enterprise puts the department at the cutting edge of linguistic scholarship, developing ideas and methods that are critical for moving the field of linguistics into a new era.

Working at UC means being part of this vibrant institution that shines a light on what is possible. People make UC great, and UC recognizes your contributions by making this a great place to work. Excellent retirement and health are just one of the rewards. Learn more about the benefits of working at UC

The Interpreter works between spoken English and American Sign Language and provides communication between the supervising UCSB professor and other faculty, staff, and students for academic classes, meetings, conferences, and social functions related to UCSB business or service commitments for the professor as needed. Prepares for all work assignments including reading, researching topics, auditing department courses, and familiarize themselves with current topics that are important to the professor's career.

This includes gaining strong familiarity with the professor's views on linguistic theories and approaches based on her research agenda as well as the field of sign language linguistics and also general familiarity with the program of the Linguistics Department. Attends professional workshops (online or in person) in the field of interpreting to continue to keep up-to-date on the latest techniques and methodologies for improving in their job.
