The successful candidate will demonstrate academic involvement in

practice, and the development of the Department's research output at an

leadership in these areas. The creation of a centre for research of the
Portuguese-speaking countries is anticipated, and the successful candidate
for the above position would be expected to make a significant contribution
to the development of the centre.

Candidates should also have appropriate administrative experience at a
senior level and must be able to demonstrate substantial leadership
abilities. The appointee will be required to teach courses at the
undergraduate and postgraduates levels and to provide MA and PhD thesis
supervision.

to the appointee's academic qualifications, current position, and
professional experience. Under special circumstances where a Chair
Professorship is offered, a higher remuneration is possible. Current local
