Subject:  Position in Modern English Language & Linguistics


The University of Birmingham seeks to appoint a Lecturer in Modern English
Language and Linguistics to strengthen and develop teaching and research in
the Department of English.  Applicants must have a Ph.D. and preferably a
good record of research and publications, as well as being a successful
teacher.  Applicants with any specialisation may apply but it is intended
that the appointee will complement and consolidate the work of the
Department.  The principal areas of language research for which the
Department is noted  are text and discourse analysis, corpus and
computational linguistics, Applied Linguistics, C.A.L.L., lexis and
lexicography.

The appointment will be for three years in the first instance,
commencing January 1998 or as soon thereafter as is convenient.
However, this is a new post designed to enable the Department to
increase its recruitment of postgraduate students in the area of
Modern English Language, so, assuming this increase takes place and
that the appointee makes a success of the job, there is every
possibility of them being offered the Department's standard three
year rolling contract at the end of the three year period.
