Romance languages with doctoral thesis or a degree recognized as equivalent;
- candidates are required to have research experience in the field of
modern French linguistics (syntax, semantics, pragmatics), proved by
contributions to international conferences and by recent publications in
national and international peer reviewed journals and/or books;
- assets:
a) research in the field of language variation and/or contrastive linguistics;
b) organization and supervision of research programs in the field of French
linguistics and proof of acquisition of external funding;
- having proved experience in international mobility, amongst others
through participation in research programs at research institutions not
linked to the university where the highest degree was obtained;
- candidates are required to be experienced academic teachers and tutors,
having supervised doctoral research in the field of modern French
linguistics. Teaching experience will have to be documented on the basis of
a pedagogical dossier. 

The candidates are requested to submit:
- the necessary attestations of competence (copies of degrees);
- a brief outline (of max. 1500 words) explaining their views on academic
teaching, research and service in relation to this vacancy.

Selection procedure:
1. candidates will be short-listed on the basis of their curriculum vitae
bibliography and the outline;
2. short-listed applicants will be invited for an interview, on the basis
of which the final selection will be made.

More detailed information on this vacancy can be obtained from Prof.
Dominique Willems (phone: +32 (9) 264 40 44, e-mail:

In principle this full-time position will lead to a tenured position.
However, in the case of a first appointment as professor, the Board of
Governors of Ghent University may decide to appoint the candidate for a
maximum period of three years, after which he/she may be eligible for
tenure following a positive evaluation. A workable knowledge of Dutch may
be part of the evaluation.

Depending on the specific profile of the selected candidate, the rank of
Full Professor or Senior Full Professor will be granted.

Ghent University (see application address below) using the specific
application forms for Autonomous Academic Staff ('ZAP'), including the
