Description:

The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Newcastle University seeks to

This post is part of a substantial investment by the University in Modern

and Language Sciences, and the School of Modern Languages).

We invite applications from individuals with an outstanding record in research
(including publications, research grant income, and PhD supervision),
successful research and academic leadership experience, an established
international reputation, and a record of excellence in teaching. The Faculty
welcomes applications from specialists in all fields of linguistics in order
to build on the strengths, and enhance the multidisciplinary nature of
Linguistics at Newcastle. The Professor position will be based in the School
which most clearly aligns with their research and teaching specialisms.

Start Date:  1 September 2017 (or as soon as possible thereafter)
