Description:

The School of Languages and Cultures wishes to recruit a University

Language Technologies from September 2012 or as soon as 
possible thereafter.

The Applied Languages Section of the School of Languages and 
Cultures has an excellent reputation for the quality and innovation of

teaching and are active participants in the School's research clusters. 

The post-holder will play a leading role in the development of the 
Master of Arts (MA) in Multilingual Information Management, teach a 
range of language technology-related modules at postgraduate 
level, including translation-related technologies, and contribute to 
teaching in other areas at both undergraduate and postgraduate 
level. S/He will engage in high quality teaching-related research 
activity, undertake administrative duties, possibly supervise MA 
students as appropriate, and contribute fully to the life of the 
Department and the School commensurate with their grade.

Successful applicants will have proven skills and experience in all 
the above areas. They will be committed to high quality teaching, 
including the teaching of language (most probably translation), and 
to excellence in teaching-related research. 

It is anticipated that interviews and other selection action will be 
between 1 and 10 July 2012. Full details will be provided to invited 
candidates.

The role is Grade 8 - £37,012 to £44,166 per annum, with potential to
