Job Rank: Full Professor

Specialty Areas: Applied Linguistics; Language Acquisition 

Description:

Full Professorship in Second Language Acquisition (1.0 fte) 
Vacancy Number: 14-161 

Specialization is open, but we are particularly interested in scholars whose areas of interest include the learning and teaching of foreign languages in secondary and tertiary education, the relation between first and second language acquisition, and multilingualism. Leiden University aims to employ more women in areas where they are underrepresented. Women are therefore especially invited to apply.

Our new colleague will hold a dual appointment in the Faculty of Humanities and the Graduate School of Teaching (ICLON). 

Tasks
- Original research and regular dissemination of the results through appropriate channels.
- Teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels, supervision of BA and MA theses, and contributions to curriculum development.
- Supervision of PhD research.
- Acquisition of project funding (NWO, ERC, etc).
- Administrative duties.
- Working with ICLON networks of representatives of secondary schools in the Netherlands.
- Representation of the field to external audiences and media. 

Requirements
- A PhD degree in a relevant field.
- A research and publication record that is commensurate with career stage.
- Commitment to high-quality teaching practice, and wide teaching scope in terms of content.
- Disciplinary expertise in linguistics, specialist knowledge of second language acquisition, and the ability to work from interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives.
- An excellent command of English. Most MA programs at Leiden University are taught in English, and English may be used in BA teaching as well.
- If the successful applicant is not Dutch-speaking, s/he is expected to acquire a good command of Dutch within two years from taking up duty, for administrative and social purposes. The University will fund her/his Dutch training at the University’s Academic Language Center.
- Upon appointment, depending on experience and formal qualifications to date, the successful applicant may be required to enter a nationally standardized tertiary teaching skills certification trajectory (BKO or Basis Kwalificatie Onderwijs), successful completion of which is a condition for favorable assessment in work reviews.

We offer
Appointment is initially for a period of five years from January 2015 through January 2019, and convertible into a permanent position thereafter on condition of good performance. The gross monthly salary is € 5.003,- to € 7.285,- per month, commensurate with qualifications.
