We especially invite candidates with scientific expertise in research and teaching of foreign languages in secondary and tertiary education. The focus will be on secondary education, and foreign languages are here understood to be English, French, German or Spanish. Specialisation is open. We seek candidates who can strengthen forms of collaboration between research and teaching of languages in the Faculty of Humanities in direct contact with the neighbouring Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences.
The research profile will be developed within the programme of the Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS, and linked to the research concerns of 'Educational and Learning Sciences', one of Utrecht University’s research impulse areas.
