The University of Edinburgh seeks to fill the vacancy in the Forbes Chair of

incumbent, is devoted to linguistic theory in relation to English and its history.

Linguistics and English Language is one of three subject areas in the School 
of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences. In the most recent 
Research Assessment Exercise, the University of Edinburgh was shown to 
have produced 30% of all the top rated work (categories 4 and 5) in linguistics 
within the UK, and in 2011 it figured in the world top ten for linguistics in the 
QS ranking.

The appointee to the Forbes Chair will be a world-renowned scholar with an 
active programme of research in his or her particular area of specialisation. 
We shall look to him or her to contribute distinguished academic leadership in 
research, supervision and teaching at all levels.
