The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to engage in non-discriminatory 
hiring practices. We urge employers not to discriminate on the grounds of race, 
ethnicity, nationality, disability, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation.
However, we have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding
employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international
employment page http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set 
up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

Description:

The Faculty of Arts and the Department of English and American Studies at 
Potsdam University, Germany, invite applications for the following post, 
preferably for the winter semester of 2012/13:

Professorship for Modern English Language and Linguistics (W3).

The successful candidate will have a commitment to representing the 
discipline in its entirety in research and teaching. Teaching responsibilities 
will be in the teacher-training and non-teacher training BA/MA-degree 
programmes in the Department, as well as in the interdisciplinary MA 
programmes "Fremdsprachenlinguistik" ('the Linguistics of Foreign 
Languages') and "Linguistik: Kommunikation, Variation und 
Mehrsprachigkeit" ('Linguistics: Communication, Variation and 
Multilingualism'). It is anticipated that the successful candidate will be in 
charge of the latter programme. The focus of his/her research should be on 
the empirical analysis of language structures and their use in contemporary 
English, alongside a proven competence in the core areas of English 
linguistics (phonetics/phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and 
lexicology). Ideally, pragmatics and discourse analysis are additional fields 
of research.

The successful candidate should be willing to connect his/her research to 
one of the areas of the key research theme "Kulturelle Begegnungsräume" 
('Spaces of Cultural Encounters') of the Faculty of Arts and to contribute to 
its advancement. He/she will be expected to have a track record of 
successful grant applications, the organisation of research projects, and 
administrative service.

Applicants must meet the legal requirements for the appointment of 
professors in accordance with § 39 Brandenburgisches Hochschulgesetz 
(BbgHG): university degree, pedagogical qualification, special aptitude for 
academic work, extensive competences in the science management as 
well as additional academic credentials, such as a habilitation or equivalent 
academic publications. A working knowledge of German is desirable. 

The appointment will be made in accordance with § 39 BbgHG. Especially 
in case of a first appointment to the position of a professor, the employment 
will not be tenured, according to § 41, section 1, BbgHG. The obtention of 
tenure later does not require another application procedure. 

The University of Potsdam seeks to increase the proportion of women in 
research and teaching, and encourages qualified female scholars to apply. 
Preference will be given to disabled persons with equal qualifications. 

Applications should be sent to the application address below within a 
period of 3 weeks.
