Job Location: Sheffield, United Kingdom 
Web Address: http://www.shef.ac.uk/jobs
Job Rank: Lecturer  

Specialty Areas: History of Linguistics 

Required Language(s): English (eng)

Description:

Faculty of Arts and Humanities 
School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics
Lecturer in the History of English 

£37,012 - £44,166 p.a. Potential to progress to £49,689 per annum through 
sustained exceptional contribution.

Colleagues in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics 
are known for their international-quality research in English Language, 
English Literature, Literary Linguistics, Cultures of the British Isles, Applied 
Linguistics, Theatre and Performance, and Creative Writing. And much of 
this activity is passed onto students through our research-led approach to 
learning and teaching. In recent years five members of staff have received 
Senate Awards for Teaching Excellence, and one of our staff has been 
awarded a National Teaching Fellowship. The School is housed in a new 
Faculty of Arts building which features modern flexible learning, teaching 
and research facilities - and a cafe. The School of English plays an active 
role in the local community, and our students are encouraged to venture 
outside the University to see how some of the ideas they are learning about 
can apply in the wider world. We have excellent links with local schools, 
libraries and museums, and we regularly undertake a range of different 
projects and activities in partnership with these organisations.

The University of Sheffield has been named UK University of the Year in 
the 2011 Times Higher Education Awards. We've won this prestigious 
award because we're a world-class university in a unique city. We are a 
community true to our civic roots and our straightforward approach informs 
everything we do, both close to home and around the world. This is an 
ideal opportunity for a scholar with an outstanding publication record and 
excellent teaching ability to join one of the major centres for English 
Language and Linguistics scholarship in the United Kingdom. 

The post-holder will design and deliver teaching on the BA in English 
Language and Linguistics, the MA in English Language Studies, and the 
MA in Culture of the British Isles. He/she will develop the School's research 
profile through the production of high quality publications and through 
attracting external research funding. The post-holder will be expected to 
contribute to the School's presence within the Faculty of Arts and 
Humanities, the wider University and, through outreach and knowledge 
exchange, in Sheffield and beyond and to carry out appropriate 
administrative duties to a high standard. 

You will have (or be close to completing) a PhD in the History of English (or 
have equivalent experience), proven teaching ability, and be able to 
contribute to existing modules on language change and the History of 
English at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as 
developing new modules in your research period and specialism. The 
ability to link with comparable teaching and research interests in the Faculty 
of Arts and Humanities is essential for this position. Evidence of public 
engagement activities will also be an advantage.
