Description:

The University of Sydney is Australia’s first university and has an
outstanding global reputation for academic and research excellence. It employs
over 7500 permanent staff supporting over 49,000 students. The University is a
comprehensive institution with strengths across the broad range of academic
disciplines, including medicine, public health and education.

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, one of 16 faculties at the
University, has a proud history and tradition of intellectual rigour. It
offers one of the most comprehensive and diverse range of humanities and
social science studies in the Asia Pacific region, and a vibrant research and
teaching environment.

The School of Letters, Art and Media is a vibrant school whose pedagogic
practice, research profile and external engagements are shaped by the
synergistic benefits of bringing together traditional disciplines with long
intellectual histories such as art history, English and linguistics with newer
sub-disciplinary or interdisciplinary formations such as media and
communication and museum studies.

Linguistics is a department with a long and celebrated history at the
University of Sydney. It has teaching and research strengths in analysis of
media discourse, anthropological linguistics, applied linguistics, corpus
linguistics, cross-cultural communication, educational linguistics, functional
grammar, language acquisition, phonology, syntactic theory and TESOL. It has
formal affiliations with colleagues in a wide range of language programs, the
Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures
(PARADISEC) and the Faculty of Education and Social Work. Members of the
department are active in a cross-faculty research network on language and
identity.

Following recent retirements of several senior staff members, the department
is currently in a period of revitalisation, rebuilding its capacity through
the recruitment of world-class academic staff, beginning with this
professorial post. In December 2012, the latest Excellence in Research for
Australia (ERA) audit, a comprehensive national research assessment exercise
that measures research quality within Australia’s higher education
institutions using a combination of indicators and expert review, ranked the
linguistics field of research at the University of Sydney a 4th, indicating
research performance above world-class standard.

You will have:
-  a capacity for academic leadership in terms of the discipline;
-  an internationally significant research profile in descriptive and/or
theoretical linguistics;
-  a strong commitment to teaching at all levels and to innovation in
curriculum design and teaching practice;
-  an evidence-based commitment to the professional development of academic
staff;
-  a favourable orientation to applied, corpus, educational and systemic
functional linguistics areas in which the department has current strength;
-  the ability to contribute to securing the strategic goals of the school,
faculty and University.

The successful applicant will be offered a continuing appointment as Professor
of Linguistics. A competitive salary package will be negotiated with the
successful applicant.
