University or Organization: Thammasat University 
Department: Linguistics
Job Location: Bangkok, Thailand 
Job Rank: Lecturer  

Specialty Areas: Applied Linguistics; General Linguistics 

Description:

The Department of Linguistics, Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat 
University, in Bangkok, Thailand, currently has three teaching positions 
available. 

For the first two openings, we invite applications from Thai nationals who 
graduated with an MA and/or a PhD in Linguistics or Applied Linguistics, from 
a highly respected and internationally accredited institution. Recruitment can 
be done on the basis of either the interuniversity  "government official" 
transfer or the newer "university employee" system. Rates of base salary for 
university employees are: 14,120 baht per month (MA holder) and 19,230 
baht per month (PhD holder).  For more information on regulations, important 
dates and requested documentation, please follow this link: 
http://arts.tu.ac.th/tuart/images/jobs/j4_270455.pdf. (NB: alternative 
arrangements can be made for applicants currently residing overseas.)

For the non-Thai opening, we especially invite applications from MA or PhD 
holders in Linguistics or Applied Linguistics, who are native speakers of 
American English, Canadian English, British English, Australian English or 
New Zealand English. The starting monthly salary is 37,310 baht (i.e. 24,310 
baht of actual salary, plus a housing allowance of 8,000 baht and the Faculty 
of Liberal Arts financial supplement of 5,000 baht per month). The 
employment agreement is renewable on a yearly basis for the first two years. 
After this period, depending on performance, the contract may be renewed 
every two years. Application screening involves document check-up, followed 
by a face-to-face or telephone interview (arranged at the applicant's own 
expense). 

Requested documents include: 
(1) a completed application form (available upon request)
(2) a cover letter 
(3) a CV
(4) copies of all transcripts and degree diplomas
(5) copies of sample work
(6) two letters of recommendations written by past or current employers or 
thesis supervisors
(7) a medical certificate and 
(8) two passport photos. 

Experience in working and/or teaching in the fields of General Linguistics or 
Applied Linguistics is a plus. The successful candidate is informed that, in 
addition to a document check-up and an interview, your application will only 
be finalized on condition that we receive an evidence of your graduation 
verification directly from your university's registrar. We need this proof for all 
the degrees that you hold. 

Prospective applicants for all the three openings are expected to show that 
they have good interpersonal and cross-cultural communication skills, an 
ability to work both individually and in a team, and most importantly, 
familiarity with a Thai work setting. Teaching load is up to three courses per 
semester at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Other job 
responsibilities include assistance with administrative matters and in the 
editorial team of the Department's bi-annually published Journal of Language 
and Linguistics. 

All initial enquiries should be directed at Dr. Varisa Kamalanavin at the email
