The University of Edinburgh is an exciting, vibrant, research led academic
community offering opportunities to work with leading international academics
whose visions are shaping tomorrow’s world. The University seeks to appoint
two open-ended, full time lecturer appointments in Linguistics and English
Language, within the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences.

Sociolinguistics:
Current strengths in the department related to sociolinguistics include
sociophonetics, language variation and change, language and identity, language
and politics, language attitudes, applied linguistics and English
dialectology. The department is interested in building on its existing
strengths and in expanding the range of research areas that are currently
taught and researched. Applicants are encouraged to indicate in their covering
letter how their research programme would add to these current areas of focus.
Experience in research with a quantitative orientation, and the ability to
teach the use of statistics in research in the language sciences, will be a
plus. The successful candidate will offer courses at both UG and MSc level and
will be expected to supervise and recruit PhD students.

Theoretical Phonology:
The position is aimed to complement our already-existing strengths in closely
related areas, including the acquisition of phonology, computational
phonology, historical phonology, phonological dialectology, the phonology of
English, laboratory phonology, phonetics and sociophonetics. The successful
candidate will bring a focus in synchronic phonological theory and will offer
courses at both UG and MSc level and will be expected to supervise and recruit
PhD students. The successful candidate for each post will also be expected to
build external collaborations and to demonstrate potential for attracting
external grant funding. He/she will engage in research of international
excellence, and will contribute to the development of Linguistics and English
Language as a centre of international excellence within the School. The
successful candidate for each post will have normal teaching and
administrative duties.
