Description:

The Faculties, in association with St Catherine's, St John's and St Hugh's
Colleges, are seeking to appoint an Associate Professor or Professor in French
Linguistics from 1 October 2017 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The University of Oxford uses the grade of associate professor for most of its
senior academic appointments. Associate professors are eligible for
consideration through regular recognition of distinction exercises for award
of the title of full professor. This promotion in status, which brings an
enhanced salary, is dependent on merit and does not normally occur until some
years after reappointment to retirement. In exceptional cases, where the
candidate has previously established an academic standing at an appropriate
level of distinction, the title of full professor may be awarded at the time
of appointment.

The Associate Professorship/Professorship is available from 1 October 2017 or
as soon as possible thereafter. The appointee will undertake teaching,
research and administrative duties for the Faculties and Colleges.

The faculties currently share three posts in French Linguistics (including
this one). We offer undergraduate and taught postgraduate papers in both the
history of the French language and its synchronic structure, as well as an
optional undergraduate research project. Recent postgraduate dissertations in
French / Gallo-Romance have included work on phonological outcomes of language
and dialect contact in Gascony, Occitan morphology and morphosyntactic
variation in Québécois French. The current postholders specialise in
synchronic phonetics / phonology and variation. Applicants with complementary
expertise, especially history of the French language, are particularly
welcome.

The successful candidate will demonstrate: a research record, including
publications, of international standing appropriate to the stage of the
candidate’s career; a doctoral degree related to French Linguistics (submitted
at least 2 months before the proposed start date); fluency in English and
French to native or near-native standard; evidence of excellence, or of the
potential for excellence, in undergraduate and graduate teaching.

Applicants from all stages of their academic career are welcome to apply for
this post, if they meet the selection criteria. To apply online or see further
details, visit the URL below. Please upload all documents as PDF files with
your name and the document type in the filename. You should also ask three
referees to send references (preferably by email) to the application email
address below.
