As such, the appointee will play a key role in the further strategic

leadership experience, and an interest in building on the strengths and
enhancing the multidisciplinary nature of Linguistics at Newcastle. The
post-holder will be based in the School that most clearly aligns with their
research and teaching specialisms.
