The Department is a young and vibrant Department established in 2004.

The appointee will bridge the Linguistics and Modern Languages units of the Department, and be extensively involved in the administration of the Modern Languages unit.  

Appointment will normally be made on contract basis for up to three years initially commencing August 2014, which, subject to mutual agreement, may lead to longer-term appointment or substantiation later.  

Applications will be accepted until the post is filled.
