<br>
*Background information:*<br>
The School of Linguistics & English Language is the only School of<br>
Linguistics in Wales, one of the oldest in the UK, and Bangor University<br>
is the only Welsh institution to offer a degree in Linguistics. At<br>
present, the School has approximately 230 undergraduate and around 20 MA<br>
students and 15 PhD students. We offer single honours degrees in<br>
Linguistics, and English language plus combined degree programmes with<br>
other Schools. We also have a number of Masters programmes, including an<br>
MA in Linguistics, an MA in Bilingualism, an MA in Cognitive<br>
Linguistics, a Masters by Research (MRes), with various pathways<br>
(including one in Welsh Linguistics), and two new MSc schemes, one in<br>
Forensic Linguistics, and one in Language Development. The School has<br>
a vibrant research community and culture and is particularly known for<br>
its research in the areas of Cognitive Linguistics, and Bilingualism.<br>
In terms of the latter, the School leads an interdisciplinary<br>
ESRC-funded Bilingualism Research Centre, which involves collaboration<br>
with the Schools of Psychology and Education<br>
(<a href="http://www.bilingualism.bangor.ac.uk" target="_blank">www.bilingualism.bangor.ac.uk</a>), and is involved in the All-Wales<br>
ESRC-funded doctoral training centre with the Bilingualism pathway<br>
coordinated from Bangor. The School currently has nine permanent<br>
members of fulltime academic staff, plus two teaching associates.<br>
Information on Linguistics & English Language, including its staff and<br>
their research interests can be found at<br>

<br>
*Rationale for the present post:*<br>
The present post forms part of an expansion of the School of<br>
Linguistics, involving an ambitious internationalisation agenda. In<br>
addition to enhancement of the taught postgraduate programme, such as<br>
two new MSc schemes, the School has developed a new BA degree scheme in<br>
English Language Studies, which inaugurates from September 2012. The<br>
new BA will run parallel to our existing BA schemes in Linguistics, and<br>
English Language, and shares some components with those degree schemes.<br>
However, the new BA is specifically aimed at the international<br>
undergraduate market. A consequence of these exciting new developments<br>
is that the School now seeks to further enhance its research and<br>
teaching capacity. The School seeks to appoint an additional permanent<br>
member of staff whose research profile directly engages with one of the<br>
two research priorities of the School (Cognitive Linguistics, or<br>
Bilingualism); the new staff member should also be able to offer<br>
teaching, at undergraduate level, in a wide range of English<br>
linguistics/English language studies, as well as in their research<br>
specialism(s) at postgraduate level. The School is particularly keen to<br>
appoint someone who can teach in one or more of the following areas:<br>
sociolinguistics, discourse and variation, Teaching English as a Foreign<br>
Language. The ability to offer forensic linguistics may also be an<br>
advantage. Details of the BA in English language Studies are here:<br>

will maintain an administrative portfolio of responsibility, as agreed<br>
with the Head of School, be eligible for School research support funds,<br>
some of which are awarded on a merit basis in order to support the<br>

research expertise. The post holder will also be expected to establish<br>
a record of teaching excellence at undergraduate and postgraduate<br>
levels, and to offer at least one module in their area of research<br>
expertise at the MA/MSc level, and to actively attract PhD students to<br>
the School. The post holder is also expected to establish a record of<br>

How to apply:<br>
To receive full consideration, applicants are requested to provide i) a<br>
completed standard Bangor application form, available from the Bangor<br>
University Human Resources website, ii) a curriculum vitae including a<br>
full listing of publications (a separate document is required from the<br>
application form), iii) a separate statement of research interests and<br>
plans, and iv) a separate statement of teaching experience, including<br>
details of which modules at undergraduate and graduate levels the<br>
applicant is able and willing to teach, and how they could contribute to<br>

information:<br>

<br>
*_Evidence of Eligibility to work in the U.K._*<br>
<br>
The University has a legal responsibility to ensure that all employees<br>
are eligible to live and work in the UK.<br>
For positions which require highly specialised skills and<br>
qualifications, and there are no suitable 'resident' (i.e European<br>
Economic Area (EEA)) applicants, the University will often be able to<br>
obtain a certificate of sponsorship for a suitably qualified applicant<br>
who is not currently eligible to work in the UK.<br>
For vacancies that are not academic, research or highly specialist it is<br>
extremely unlikely that a certificate of sponsorship would be granted.<br>
In such cases we will therefore be unable to consider an application<br>
from someone who is not currently eligible to work in the UK.<br>
<br>
The UK Border Agency website <a href="http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk" target="_blank">www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk</a><br>
<<a href="http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk" target="_blank">http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk</a>> has full details to<br>
help you assess whether you would be eligible to apply for one of our<br>
vacancies.<br>
<br>
Prior to being permitted to commence employment with the University, you<br>
will be required to produce documentary evidence of permission to work<br>
in the United Kingdom. Acceptable documents are items such as a<br>
passport showing you are a British Citizen, or that you have a right of<br>
abode in the United Kingdom; a document showing your permanent UK<br>
National Insurance Number _and_ your full UK Birth Certificate; A<br>
document showing that you are a national of a European Economic Area<br>
country or Switzerland - this must be a national passport or national<br>
identity card; A passport or UK issued national identity card providing<br>
evidence of your Visa detailing the Tier for which your Certificate of<br>
Sponsorship covered you e.g. Tier 2, Tier 4, Tier 5 or indeed Tier 1 if<br>
you applied for this yourself. This list is not exhaustive. A full<br>
list of acceptable documentary evidence is available on request. An<br>
original document must be seen on or before your first day of employment.<br>
